Until recently, computer work mainly involved inputting data while looking down at paperwork and the keyboard. But now computer intensive work is shifting toward tasks that involve long periods of thinking while looking at the monitor. Working posture in this new mode of computer oriented work tends to tilt the upper body away from the monitor in an effort to find the best angle and distance from it. Okamura focused on this to develop a posture ideal not only for working but thinking as well.
The low-seat, rear-tilt keeps the body relaxed and makes it possible to concentrate many more hours compared to sitting in other chairs. Compared to the old upright sitting posture, the low-seat, rear-tilt posture is a major step forward.
The Okamura Cruise Workstation comprises Cruise Chair, Cruise Desk and Adjustabel Monitor Arm. Also available is and optional Cruise Workstation Screen.

As the business environment changes so does seating posture
From work posture to thinking posture, effective creative thinking needs not only a relaxed and comfortable brain, but also a relaxed, comfortable body. What is the most comfortable work posture now that many of us are spending more of our time working at a computer? Human body engineering research provides an answer to that question with the relaxed working style achieved by the utterly unique "low-seat, rear tilt" concept. An all new seating style for intelligent and creative thinking from Okamura, "low seat, rear-tilt" is the style for professionals who are the business world's next generation of movers and shakers.
The comfortable seat and back position is the result of extensive research
The low-seat, rear-tilt posture is the result of doing research on how people actually work in front of computers. Okamura’s exclusively developed low-seat, rear-tilt posture places the seat in a low position and sharply tilts the body back to reduces tress on the body even when working several hours before a computer. Since this posture was developed based on research on how people actually work in front of computers it provides comfort that past posture systems were unable achieve.

Even after several hours the low-seat, rear-tilt posture keeps you relaxed
The low-seat, rear-tilt concept was formulated through cllaborative research with human body engineering advocate and Keio University Department of Science and Technology Professor Nobutoshi Yamazaki. The low-seat, rear-tilt posture is the result of accumulated experiments using chairs, desks and other equipment in a variety of shapes.
Low stress on the body also minimizes changing posture
The low-seat, rear-tilt posture keeps the body relaxed and makes it possible to concentrate many more hours compared to sitting in other chairs. Compared to the upright sitting posture, the low-seat, rear-tilt is a major step forward.
Rear-tilt disperses body weight, while the Low-seat reduces swelling
The changes that occur in the body also clearly show the reduced stress achieved by the low-seat, rear-tilt posture. The dispersion of pressure received from the back and the seat of the ergonomic office chair means that the body is supported over a wider area. Reduced leg swelling is a result of bringing the height of the heart and legs closer together so that blood circulates more easily.
