Le Corbusier Chaise Longue. A true "relaxing machine"

"Chairs are architecture. Sofas are bourgeois"

- Le Corbusier

We like to talk about chairs. You know that. But more than everything, we like to talk about legendary chairs. Like the Le Corbusier Chaise Longue.

A modern classic, the embodiment of contemporary design, this chair was originally designed in 1928 by the Le Corbusier, expressing form as well as comfort.


The Swiss architect intended to create functional art and meet the needs of the modern man. This chair, or the “relaxing machine” as Le Corbusier liked to call his creation, captured this passion with its easy-to-adjust positioning and soft leather chaise. Relaxation never looked this good.

The chair’s stainless steel frame, polished to mirror shine, will not rust or chip. Its base frame comes in black steel finish and features rubber gripping pads for easy and safe positioning of the chaise in desired position. The chair is available in Black or White leather.

How to choose the right office chair?

Sitting might seem to be the easiest thing in the world, but sitting all day long in front of a computer screen can cause back pains and spinal damage. That is why we have to put in some thought when choosing an office chair.

There is a wide selection of agronomic office chairs that can support your body and help you keep a healthy posture. Here are a couple of tips that can help you choose the right chair:

• Remember that a high price tag doesn’t mean that the chair is agronomic or even comfortable. Research the market, learn about chair manufacturers, know your needs and only then go chair shopping.
• While leather chair may sound “luxurious” you should know that the material absorbs heat quickly, which can make the chair pretty uncomfortable.
• A chair with a plastic base can easily bend or break. Aluminum is considered to be the best choice for people who work at different stations and need a light, yet durable material.
• The ideal chair will allow you to sit straight and firmly place your feet on the ground. If you can’t get to this posture - this is not the chair for you.

Herman Miller's Mirra. A Chair Full of Holes

If you’re thinking about a new office chair, the name Herman Miller must’ve crossed your mind. But then you probably thought that it would be to expensive and you’d be better off with an OfficeMax chair.

Wait! We’d like you to know the Mirra. It’s a Herman Miller design; a happy union of seemingly incompatible concepts: More support and less material. High performance and relatively cheap Herman Miller.

Take a look at the back support of this chair. It’s full of holes! But in a good way!



The one-piece, frameless backrest is a polymer pierced with 567 geometric shapes to create three flex zones. Each zone provides an appropriate level of flexibility for the right ergonomic support and natural adjustment. What does it mean? That you will get a superior back support. And that the chair will automatically shapes itself to fit your body.

And wherever you are – the Mirra is a good seat. It distributes your body pressure evenly and keeps you cool.

Oh, and one more thing: Mirra is a green chair. Not the color! It’s made of 42% recycled materials, it has no PVC in its construction. It's 96% recyclable and disassembles easily.



For the best price on the Mirra, visit us at www.escadesigns.com and give your back a treat.

Think about the Think Chair

When you call your chair a Think Chair, there’s better be something to back it up with. We took a quick look into Steelcase’s Think Chair and this is what we’ve found:

It seems that the Think Chair is more than just a chair. It might look like a normal office chair but this one has brain and a conscience. No kiddin’ guys, the chair is intelligent enough to understand how you sit and adjust itself intuitively and it is also thoughtful enough to measure and minimize its lifelong impact on the environment – it’s up to 98% recyclable by weight.

The chair’s innovative flexors system tracks the individual movement of your spine and pelvis. The back flexors are individually shaped to the human form to provide optimum support for each area of the back. Seat flexors conform to your shape, providing a dynamic comfort pocket. You've never been more flexed in your entire life.

The chair’s intelligence is created with the Your Power Mechanism that moves as fluidly as the human body does. It provides recline support in proportion to your own body weight, while keeping you oriented to your work. When you recline or lean forward, the seat edge flexes to relieve pressure on the back of the legs.

Get Star Treatment for your back. Get the Freedom Chair!

Drew Barrymore set on it:

Angelina Jolie just loves it!

It’s in every TV show from Ugly Betty:

To Boston Legal:

It’s the Freedom Chair!
“Technology can make simple things complicated or complicated things simple. We prefer the latter.”

That’s the motto behind Human Scale’s Freedom Chair, now available at Esca Designs. Winner of 10 design awards to date – the Freedom chair has revolutionized the task chair industry. Freedom doesn’t mean that it’s got the American Flag plastered on it – it means that the chair is designed to give the maximum ergonomic benefit to the sitter with a minimum number of manually-adjusted controls. Think of how much time you spend pushing and puling handles, before you can find that comfortable posture. Well, just like a self winding watch, the movement idea is imbedded into the chair. Movement, which is essential for a healthy body, shouldn't be constricted by locking mechanisms and manual controls. In other words, sitting comfortably isn't something you should have to think about. If you want to recline – just go for it. If you want to lower the handles – then do it. The chair will change according to your movements.

You don't have to be a movie star to get that movie star comfort you deserve. Just log on to www.escadesigns.com and give some freedom to your back.

Room within a Room

You appreciate industrial design as much as you appreciate art. You know that a chair isn’t just made out of four legs and a seat. No. It’s made out of thought and innovation. Take the Ball Chair for example. Classic and iconic, the ball chair was designed in 1963 by the Finnish furniture designer Eero Aarnio. The original design of this chair was known as a "room within a room" and it is great for relaxing, reading or taking a long phone call. You will get a sense of privacy in the Ball Chair and even feel safe and protected in this womb like environment. The rotating axis provides serenity when facing a wall or a more friendly approach when turning towards your guests. As a retro piece, this chair is a real attention getter, at your home, office, or bar/club. Everyone who walks in will want a picture with this chair and its fiberglass glossy shell. The chair is easy to maintain, comes in three colors and high-density quality foam cushions that are removable for cleaning.

Posture and Back Pain

Lately, I have been suffering from back pains. My husband likes to sleep with the air conditioner on and I thought this might be the reason. We tried to sleep a few nights without the AC but it didn’t seem to help. When I was sitting in my office the other week, googeling “back pains,” I came across some helpful information. Sitting might seem to be the easiest thing in the world, but there is actually a lot to know about, especially when it comes to posture. I found out that overtime, back pains and damage to the spinal structure can result from poor posture at the office or at home. So the first thing I did was to try and sit straight in my chair. It’s not easy. Especially when I got so used to slouching over the computer desk. But after a while it did feel better to sit up straight. I even felt that I look better, more confident. Now I have this routine and every 30 minuets I get up and stretch or just walk around the room, just to keep the systems going. I also asked my boss to purchase new chairs. It turns out that there are a lot of agronomic office chairs that can support our body and help us keep a healthy posture. Until the new chairs arrive, I found that putting a small pillow on the chair, helps to reduce the load off the spine. Try it, you won’t be sorry.

Herman Miller Office Chairs with Posture Fit

The differences between a normal office and a Herman Miller luxury office chairs are endless. However, the most important difference is the health benefits.

Above is the Herman Miller Aeron loaded with posturefit. Posturefit provides a natural and custom fitted support for the lower back (below the beltline) for health posture and lower back support. The high and wide contoured back actually takes the weight off of the lower spine for support and comfort.

Working in the office all day, at a desk, performing repetitive tasks can be very detrimential to your health. This chair not only incorporates lower spine support but is also easy on the arms and reduces pressure under the thigh for increased blood circulation.

So how did this amazing technology come to be? In November of 2000 Brian Walker, Herman Miller North America President, called Dr. Brock Walter, a back care specialist. Working together with Bill Stumpf, co-desiger of the Aeron chair, the Aeron was born.

The Art Behind Office Chairs

Sometimes the little things can really make a difference on your job. Who would have thought that an office chair could make an employee happier, increase their productivity, increase their punctuality and attendance and allow them to be more comfortable and healthy at work.

It's always the little things that end up making such a huge difference in our lives. We know that an office chair isn't just an office chair... it can be a small life changing experience if you take the time to choose one that not only looks great but also feels great.

Herman Miller office chairs aren't the only stunning chairs out there. If you took the time to browse, you'd be surprised at how much you could learn. Just like other pieces of art, office chairs actually have histories and stories behind their creation. For example, here's a great chair from Esca Design called the Egg Chair:


This chair was actually inspired by Denmark's most famous designer, Arne Jacobsen, who created the original egg chair in the 1950's. His chairs are very popular and sold over 5 million since its beginnings. Esca's egg chair celebrates Jacobsens creation and is made of a synthetic shell and is padded with cold foam and covered with high quality microfiber.

Herman Miller Chairs Can Help Health Care Reforms?

One ongoing discussion from the federal government about health care reform to require a new measure of standard to hold facilities and workers up to that could measure the quality not quantity of health care. I think all of us are ready for health care reform, but health care workers also need more comfortable environments to work. According to the CDC 70 percent of worker injuries in the hospital who went to the doctor suffered from musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) which are caused by overexertion or repetive motions.

At Esca designs, we understand how important a good office chair is, and there is nothing better than our selection of Herman Miller Chairs. Herman Millier office chairs take ergonomics seriously by providing workers with an environment that is applicable to the tasks they perform. And that's exactly what their chairs do. If you are uncomfortable at work, no matter if you work in an office or on the field, a good office chair can make a huge difference.

For example, try this Herman Miller Aeron Chair which combines concept and comfort by distributing weight over the seat and back, permitting air circulation, and it was designed using 66% recycled materials:

Go ahead, take the Herman Miller challenge, you'll never go back to your old chair again.
