Car Office Chair
There are mainly three types of car office chairs: the modified Buick GL8 seat, the Livorno S02 executive chair, and the Toyota Crown Office Chair.
Modified Buick GL8 Seat as a Home Computer Chair: In terms of cost, fabric seats generally cost around 300 yuan, while leather seats cost about 500 yuan. For model selection, the middle-row seats of the GL8 come in two major versions: 652 and 653. The 653 model has seat belts integrated into the seat, which can be directly used as an independent chair after removal, and is slightly more expensive by 100 - 150 yuan. The 652 model has seat belts fixed to the vehicle body, and the seat belt mechanism needs to be dealt with or discarded during modification. If the computer chair is usually used without a seat belt, the 652 model is sufficient and cost-effective. If you want to retain the built-in armrests and seat belts of the seat (e.g., for a gaming simulator), it is recommended to choose the 653 model. In terms of applicable scenarios, office workers can recline the backrest to 160 degrees during lunch breaks and take a 30-minute nap without back pain. Gamers can connect to a computer, and the seat, with its built-in armrests and soft padding, fits better than most gaming chairs. For modification methods, users with strong hands-on skills can weld a base themselves or purchase an adapter bracket, with an installation time of about 2 hours. Users with zero hands-on skills can directly buy a finished product.
Livorno S02 Executive Chair: It costs over four thousand yuan. In terms of functions, it is independently controlled by four motors. The headrest can be electrically adjusted from 0 to 60 degrees, the backrest from 95 to 160 degrees, and the leg rest can be lifted upwards with one button. The seat cushion moves forward and upward accordingly, with an 8-centimeter electric adjustment range in the front and back. For massage, there are 2 groups of 5 airbags covering the entire back, with 3 adjustable levels. The heating is directly aimed at the waist. It has a height adjustment function, and the side features a remote control and a charging port. In terms of materials, the highlighted contact surfaces are all made of European imported top-layer cowhide, while other parts are made of PVC artificial leather.
Toyota Crown Office Chair: It is jointly developed by Toyota Boshoku and the office furniture company Itoki, and is sourced from the front electric seats of the Toyota Crown. In terms of functions, it retains the electric adjustment functions of the original car seats, including tilt, seat height, seat cushion forward tilt, and lumbar support. It also has heating and ventilation functions, and the original car's seat belt buckle has been transformed into a USB charging port. In terms of structure, the chair legs and lifting mechanism are professionally built by Itoki to ensure they meet the usage requirements of office chairs. In terms of materials and comfort, it continues the luxury positioning of the Crown model. The price is set at ยฅ495,000 (approximately 21,244 yuan at the current exchange rate), with a limited quantity of 70 chairs.
