Now that sitting has become such an integral part of theworkday, finding the right chair can mean the difference betweencomfort and misery-both mental and physical. At least you'vegot a variety to choose from. Some of the new office chairs aresleek and modern, while others offer traditional, conservativelines. And yet all share an emphasis on ergonomics-a requirement inany chair you choose. With that in mind, we've reviewed threechairs that are sure to add a little comfort and style (or both) toany office:

  • The TAS, by Haworth Inc. The TAS, similar in design toconventional office chairs, maintains ergonomics as its toppriority. It comes in three sizes, so it's sure to fit mostbody shapes and sizes. Other features include an adjustable tilttension that accommodates various user weights and an adjustablebackrest that supports the spine. Its most unique feature, however,is that it allows for side-to-side movement, in addition to forwardand back-thus encouraging body movement, or "activesitting." Available in leather or cloth, the TAS can be foundat Haworth dealers nationwide. For more information, visit http://www.haworth-furn.com.

And like the TAS mentioned above, the Aeron comes inthree sizes for people of different heights. Tilt dynamics supportyour body in all postures as it moves throughout the day, fromforward tilting to reclining.
