Weird Office Chair

Admin October 11, 2026

There are mainly two different situations regarding the 'weird office chair'.

One is a chair with a special 'story' that appears in an office environment. A chair that the leader used to like to sit on was placed by the door of the pantry. After the leader changed jobs, this chair was neglected. Xiao Zhang sat on it for twenty minutes and then had such severe back pain that he couldn't stand up straight. After that, no one dared to sit on it, and rumors spread that the chair had bad feng shui and hid the 'ambitions' of the former leader. However, the newly arrived Xiao Wang said after sitting on it that the hardness and softness were just right, but it was a bit wobbly. In this case, the so-called 'weirdness' of the chair is more due to people's psychological effects and rumors. Xiao Zhang's back pain after sitting may just be an issue of the individual's physical condition and the chair's suitability, such as the chair's height and hardness not meeting Xiao Zhang's physical needs, resulting in uneven stress on the waist and thus pain. The rumors of bad feng shui and 'hiding ambitions' are statements derived from people's subjective imaginations and traditional beliefs when facing the unknown or special situations, and there is no scientific basis for them.

The other is an oddly shaped office chair made by the Japanese company Factory - M. The seat and backrest of this chair are made of a huge L-shaped amethyst. A metal base holds the amethyst, and the sharp corners are polished. Four universal wheels are installed under the chair legs. However, the amethyst weighs 88 kilograms, and the whole chair weighs 99 kilograms, with a price of about 23,000 yuan. Some people think this chair looks good but their buttocks hurt when sitting on it. This may be because the amethyst material is hard and lacks the softness and elasticity of an ordinary office chair, failing to fit well with the curves of the human buttocks. Sitting on it for a long time will put a lot of pressure on the buttocks, causing pain. Some also ask if it has a massage function. Judging from its design and material, this chair has no massage devices installed, so it does not have a massage function. It mainly attracts people's attention with its unique shape and precious amethyst material.
