Boss Office Chair Backer
The backer for a boss's office chair should adhere to the following key points in Feng Shui layout:
1. Backer Principle The boss's chair should meet the core principle of "sitting firmly facing the open and gathering qi while hiding from the wind." It must be backed by a solid and sturdy wall to form a stable "Xuanwu backer" and avoid being positioned with its back to a door, window, or crossbeam. A solid wall symbolizes a solid foundation for the business, enhancing confidence in decision-making and providing support during crises, while also helping to attract the assistance of influential people. If there is no solid support behind (such as a corridor or glass window), it can easily lead to a "no-backer" pattern, affecting the implementation of cooperation and the stability of resources.
2. Backer Distance The chair and the back wall should maintain an appropriate distance, with 40-60 centimeters being the optimal range. A distance that is too close will make the space feel cramped andๅๆ (oppressive), obstructing the flow of qi; a distance that is too far will result in an overly spacious space, weakening the sense of support from the backer. An appropriate distance can ensure privacy while maintaining the balance and stability of the qi field.
3. Backer Decoration The decoration on the back wall should be chosen carefully. Avoid hanging dynamic, sharp, or desolate paintings (such as waterfalls, swords, or withered branches), as these patterns can easily cause turbulence in the qi field, leading to restlessness. It is recommended to hang gently sloping landscape scrolls, with the mountain bodies being thick and round, avoiding jagged rocks, to symbolize a stable backer. Common choices include traditional Chinese paintings of the Great Wall, Mount Tai, or mountains and flowing water. These paintings form a pattern of "mountains encircling water" with the office layout, strengthening the implication of having a backer.
4. Taboo Situations
- Avoid having your back to a window: The airflow from the window directly hits the back, causing instability in the qi field, easily leading to fatigue, scattered energy, and the symbolism of having no backup support, which can hinder cooperation.
- Avoid having your back suspended: If the seat is backed by a corridor, glass window, or door, this is traditionally known as "sitting with your back to the door" in geomancy, which can lead to a lack of support in decision-making, restlessness, and even affect team cohesion.
- Avoid a crossbeam over your head: A crossbeam directly pressing down on the seat can create a psychological sense of oppression and, over the long term, easily lead to health problems and obstacles in business.
By reasonably arranging the backer, the qi field in the office can be optimized, providing implicit support for business development. However, it is necessary to make flexible adjustments based on actual space conditions and avoid relying too heavily on Feng Shui while neglecting functional needs.
