Balanball: Dynamic Seating Solution

Project Overview

Balanball is a revolutionary seating alternative designed to transform the traditional office chair experience. This innovative product emerged from a collaborative partnership in 2024 focused on addressing the health challenges of prolonged sitting in modern workplaces.

Design Process

Working closely with my project partner & co-founder and incorporating expert guidance from a physiotherapist, we developed a dynamic seating solution that actively engages users while they work.

The design process emphasized both ergonomic principles and practical workplace functionality.

Key Features

• Active Core Engagement: Continuously activates and strengthens core muscles during use

• Dynamic Movement: Promotes natural micro-movements that combat the negative effects of static sitting

• Ergonomic Design: Developed with physiotherapist input to ensure proper posture support

• Workplace Integration: Seamlessly fits into existing office environments

Impact

Balanball addresses the growing concern of sedentary work lifestyles by turning sitting time into an opportunity for passive fitness.

The product helps users maintain better posture, reduce back strain, and improve overall core strength throughout their workday.

Collaboration

This project showcases the power of interdisciplinary collaboration, bringing together product design expertise, healthcare knowledge, and user-centered thinking to create a meaningful solution for modern workplace wellness.
