Standly Bao
Standly Bao is a folding standing support chair for workers who must stand for long periods. The design holds the body in a balanced standing posture while allowing the same freedom of movement as standing. A three point pressure method fixes the hip, the knee and the foot, so stress on the lower limbs is reduced and poor posture is avoided. The user pulls out the frame, rests the knees on the lower pad and leans on the upper pad. A spring returns the frame to its original position, and the folded form gives space back to narrow work areas such as bar and store counters.
Standly Bao Folding Chair by Ming Hsiu Lee was selected as an exceptional illustration of industrial design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Standly Bao Folding Chair earned the Silver A' Design Award in Furniture Design in 2021. The A' Furniture Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design prize that honors excellent design of chairs, tables, sofas, beds, cabinets, shelves, desks, wardrobes and more.
