PLAY WITH REDUCED INJURY AND IMPROVED WELL-BEING
No two musicians’ seating requirements are the same, so earo had to deliver simple and intuitive controls for uncompromised adjustment to each musician’s personal preference.
Earo has a unique seat profile along with height and tilt adjustments, narrow backrest with its upright flexible profile and footrests in the base. These features combine to provide an elegant and ergonomically refined orchestra chair – easily adjustable, multimodal and suited to all seated members of the orchestra.
WHAT ARE THEY SAYING?
“Sitting on earó chairs is like sitting on cloud 9!!! The sitting feeling is better than standing, with an upright posture you can breathe wonderfully relaxed and play music in a flow!”
“We are very happy with the earo chairs. I find it very comfortable, even for long rehearsals. It is very easy to adjust the height and tilt of the seat to suit individual needs; it can certainly help musicians maintain a good posture.”
''I like your chair very much. In the beginning I sit too much in front of the chair because cellists are used to it. The chair comes with a useful manual that helps me to find the right position.''
''I like the chair very much! It's comfortable and I could customize it really easily. It's designed very well. Since I use the chair as a violin maker and need to move around, the version with castor wheels is perfect for me!''
"Earo chair supports me to adopt an upright posture and doesn't hurt my thighs. Struggling with both before, I could step up practising time now and enjoy contemplation. You just sit down and it happens naturally."
"I found the chair useful and comfortable to use. It can help the posture if used correctly, the flexibility in adjusting its height is very important for me, making a huge difference. Its folding feature makes it easy to carry. I would recommend the earo chair to musicians of any age ! ."
ERGONOMIC BENEFITS
Sit Tall, Perform at Your Best
earo’s conceptual focus of ‘Sit Tall’ is its key design objective to promote a tall seated pose while maintaining the best possible postural balance and upper body mobility.
Sit Tall, Breathe Better
The elevated sitting position also allows the chest cavity diaphragm to open deeply with ease, thus promoting relaxed breathing while performing for all instrument groupings.
Open Posture
The open posture sets up the conditions for balanced movements associated with reduced muscle tension and thereby aiding the reduction of musculoskeletal injury and repetitive strain injury.
HANDLING EARO
On Stage and Off
Earo’s design also recognises the logistical requirements of performance spaces and orchestra management. The chair’s lightweight frame make for easy manipulation and carrying.
Carry Handles
Conveniently placed handles on the underside of the seat and at the top of the backrest allow for easy and comfortable manipulating of earo orchestra chair.
Stackability
An innovative folding mechanism resets the chairs’ height to the same position for easy and compact nesting. A mobile storage cart is also available for earo orchestra chairs.
