Driving Chair to Office Chair Transformation
There are several cases where driving chairs have been transformed into office chairs, each with unique features in terms of functionality and design:
Toyota Crown Driving Seat Office Chair: This office chair is crafted by Toyota Boshoku based on the driving seat of Toyota's premium car, the Crown (CROWN). Limited to 70 units, it is priced at 495,000 yen (approximately RMB 21,600). It retains the core configurations of the car seat, such as a seat ventilation system with built-in fans and heating functions, with the electronic control unit (ECU) for these functions independently developed by Toyota Boshoku. However, components like airbags have been removed, and the seatbelt buckle has been transformed into a USB port. In terms of seat adjustment, the seat height adjustment and armrest structure are jointly developed by Toyota Boshoku and Itoki, a Japanese office furniture giant. The positions of the backrest, lumbar support, and seat surface can be finely adjusted to meet the personalized needs of different users regarding seating posture.
Livorno Executive Chair: This office chair incorporates the functions of an aviation seat from a business vehicle, offering a variety of powerful features. It is independently controlled by four motors, with the headrest adjustable from 0 to 60 degrees electrically, the backrest adjustable from 95 to 160 degrees electrically, and the leg rest able to be lifted upwards with one button, with the seat cushion moving forward and upward accordingly. There is also an 8-centimeter electric adjustment for the front and back. In terms of comfort functions, the massage function is covered by 2 groups of 5 airbags across the entire back, adjustable in 3 levels; the heating function is directed at the waist, effectively relieving waist fatigue. Its contact surface is made of European imported top-layer cowhide, while other parts are made of PVC artificial leather, ensuring both comfort and durability in terms of material.
inspirefit Ergonomic Chair: Originating from car seats, it emphasizes the harmonious relationship between humans, machines, and the environment. It adopts a whole-package delivery method with no assembly required, making it convenient for users. The light gray parts have a fine texture, a soft and slightly elastic feel, and the dark black chassis and footrest are substantial, ensuring the stability of the chair. The chair has an elegant curve, with the outer arc of the headrest fitting the neck, the front arc of the seat cushion reducing pressure on the popliteal area, and a straight, long backbone support on the back. In terms of angle settings, the switch is located in the middle, with a retractable design that is simple and integrated, and the overall design conforms to ergonomic principles.
