Imagine an ergonomic computer chair that adjusts to the contours
of your back, providing perfect support to your spine. The
Verte', with 11 torsion spring-loaded bearing joints, does just
that: It takes an impression of your spine, then locks it into
memory with a single touch of a lever. A team of doctors,
chiropractors and engineers designed Verte´ to reduce back
pain. Its seat has extra-thick foam for those who sit for hours,
and its soft, black leather contours adjust in multiple
dimensions--not just up, down, forward and back, but also to the
left and right (price: $1,199, www.ergonomichome.com/ercoch.html, 877-550-2678).
