Conceptual coffin-shaped chairs mocking long hours at work have gone viral.
A UK-based designer going by the name of Chairbox Design posted them online on Behance in July and they are now starting to make the roundsIE located the designer and asked him a few questions.While I was working on the standing desk project for a client I did research about sitting. There is a study that found that sitting six to eight hours a day increases your chances of dying. By design, humans weren't created to sit on chairs for eight hours a day.
Another issue that I wanted to talk about in my work is exploitation. While we spend most of our time at work, we can't afford some basic things. The gap between rich and poor is growing exponentially. What's shocking is that it's widely accepted by society. It has become a norm that we spend our lives at work slowly killing ourselves and getting almost nothing out of it.The whole grind culture is just wrong, it feels to me like voluntary slavery.
