Car Seat Style Office Chair

Admin October 12, 2026

The car seat style office chair is a special type of office chair that combines the design concept of car seats with office functionality, exemplified by Toyota's replica Crown car seat office chair. The following is an introduction from several aspects including design source, functional configuration, innovative modifications, and sales situation:

  • Design Source: The car seat style office chair launched by Toyota is based on the electric front seats of the Crown model. This design concept breaks away from the traditional design mode of office chairs, introducing the comfort and unique design elements of car seats into the office environment, providing users with a brand-new experience.
  • Functional Configuration: It retains most of the functional configurations of the original car seats. It features an electric reclining function, allowing users to easily adjust the angle of the seat back according to their own needs to find the most comfortable position for rest or work. The height adjustment function enables users of different heights to adjust the seat to an appropriate height to maintain correct sitting posture. The cushion forward-tilt angle adjustment function meets the needs of users in different work states. For example, when focusing on work, the cushion can be tilted forward to bring the body closer to the desk. The lumbar support function effectively reduces lumbar pressure and prevents lumbar fatigue and injury. The seat ventilation and heating functions can be adjusted according to the season and ambient temperature, providing a cool and ventilated feeling in hot summers and a warm and comfortable experience in cold winters.
  • Innovative Modifications: Some components of the original car seats have been innovatively modified. The seatbelt buckle has been transformed into a USB port, facilitating users to charge their electronic devices and adding convenience to office work. The seat height adjustment and armrest structure are jointly developed by Toyota Boshoku and Itoki, a Japanese office furniture giant. While ensuring comfort, it improves the stability and durability of the seat, making it more suitable for use in office environments.
  • Sales Situation: This office chair is limited to 70 units for sale, priced at 495,000 yen (approximately RMB 21,600). The limited sales approach increases the scarcity and uniqueness of this office chair, and the relatively high price also reflects the value brought by its high quality and unique design.
