We Are Born to Move.
There are more than 360 joints and about 700 skeletal muscles in the human body, and as they move, they enhance the performance of the nerve cells.

In short, the human body is built to move. KOKUYO’s ‘ing’ was born out of this mechanism.

The New ‘360 degree Gliding Sensation’
Known as the ING effect.

Beneath the seating surface of ing is equipped with a gliding mechanism which freely moves 360 degrees according to the subtle movement of the human body. It follows a forward tilt and backward tilt, up to left and right and diagonal twists, by a combination of two layers of mechanisms. It brings out natural movements of human beings and activates the body and brain.

Beneath the seating surface of ing is equipped with a gliding mechanism

which freely moves 360 degrees according to the subtle movement

of the human body.

It follows a forward tilt and backward tilt, up to left and right and diagonal twists,

by a combination of two layers of mechanisms. It brings out natural movements

The essential part of while working, one become healthy both mentally and physically.

To do that, it is necessary to move our body. By moving joints and skeletal nodes,

the nerve cells are made to work well. In the state of sitting,

ing” draws out the natural movement of the body.

main banner_4_1

Fits to various spine shapes without adjustment.


The natural spine S-curve is made at the pelvic angle. ing’s gliding mechanism follows the natural pelvic angle of the seated person and does not require adjustment of the lumbar support.

feature_1

Always follow and dynamically distribute body pressure.


Gliding mechanism that moves 360 ° back and forth, left and right, always follows the movement of the body while gliding. This way no body pressure concentrates on one point but the pressure is evenly distributed accordingly.

feature_2

Respond to physical differences without adjustment.


So that everyone can sit comfortably. ing adopts a “front free tilt” in which the front part of the seating surface is bent according to the size and the posture of the person sitting. Even physically small persons with a smaller spines are less pressed against the back of the thigh, so adjustment of the depth of the seating surface is not necessary.

“Gliding mechanism”
which moves 360 degrees freely back and forth and
right and left according to minute movement of one body

 ing is a combination of two levels of mechanics, to follow any movement of the body from forward lean,
backward inclination, left and right twist. A mechanism like a swing that does not use a spring eliminates the
load at the beginning of movement and makes the body easy to move. Furthermore, since there is a lumbar return
after moving, you can safely leave your body in the chair without breaking the balance.

“Front free tilt”
which requires no adjustment of the depth of the seat

The seat front part is bent so as not to exert pressure on the
under side of the thighs thus reducing the pressure.
Even a person with a smaller stature with less tightness do not
require adjustment of the depth of the seat because there is less pressure.

 “Sitting on an ing chair
allows me to wring freely
and I can feel my muscles stretch.”

Takeshi Hashimoto

 “When I sat on an ing chair
for the first time, my body
was swinging more comfortably
than expected. It occurred to me
that there might be a correlation
between this free-swinging
movement and relaxation.”

Sadao Masayoshi

 “Since the seat of an
ing chair moves freely, it
helps keep the pelvis in motion.
Moreover, trying to keep our
posture while balancing
on the “ing” chair helps strengthen
our body trunk, which remains
inactive in daily life.”

Emi Chiba

“ After sitting on the ing
chair for a while, I gained
concentration and reduced
sleepiness”

Hiroyasu Kimura

“I was a little surprised
at first that I might fall.
However, unlike ordinary
forward-tilting motion, the
pelvis feel better support, and
it felt that it was corrected properly.”

Keiko Tanaka

“ing is the same amount
of exercise as walking 1.5 km

substitute for a walk.”
