Toyota Office Chair

Toyota has launched two main types of office chairs: one based on the front seats of the Toyota Crown model and the other a "magic chair" with tilting and rotating functions.

Office Chair Based on the Front Seats of the Toyota Crown Model: This is a product launched by Toyota in collaboration with the Japanese office furniture brand Itoki. Limited to 70 units, it is sold through a lottery system. It retains many functions of the car seats, such as electric adjustment, ventilation and heating, and lumbar support. The base, lifting mechanism, and armrests are jointly developed by both parties. The original car's seatbelt buckle is retained and transformed into a USB port for convenient use of electronic devices. A rechargeable battery is equipped at the bottom rear of the seat. After charging for 1 hour, the heater can operate continuously at maximum output for 7.5 hours. The positions of the backrest, lumbar area, and seat surface can be finely adjusted, with the adjustment logic consistent with that of car seats. This office chair is priced at 495,000 yen, approximately equivalent to 21,244 yuan, and will be sold at six Crown dealerships across Japan.

"Magic Chair" with Tilting and Rotating Functions: Its uniqueness lies in the fact that one of the three support pillars of the seat is shorter, causing the seat surface to tilt slightly and rotate in a circular motion, continuously changing the tilting direction of the seat by 360 degrees. This design utilizes the human "postural reflex," keeping the muscles in a state of repeated tension and relaxation unconsciously, similar to a balance ball but with automatic rotation. By enhancing muscle coordination, it aims to improve the abilities that users have lost. It may be of some help to people who need to improve their physical functions and enhance muscle coordination. However, currently, more detailed information about this "magic chair," such as its price and sales channels, has not been mentioned in the reference information.
