The therapy chair concept takes into account children’s need to move. Movement is a basic principle of motor, mental and spiritual development. The movement chair enables special children to sit both stable and in motion. Through movement, non-disabled as well as disabled children can experience themselves and understand their environment. The complex high-performance product with its softly swinging wingshaped suspension elements has a design language that enables therapists and caregivers to use its full range of functions. At the same time, it also creates a positive feeling of familiarity in its young users. The child-oriented colour scheme of the cover distracts from the fact that it is a rehabilitation device and improves user acceptance.
