Достаточно посмотреть на приведенные выше фотографии конторских помещений 1920-х гг., чтобы понять: в лучшем случае офисные кресла того периода были оснащены спинками (хоть и не очень удобными) и могли вращаться. И это неслучайно – удобство было равнозначно безделью. На фоне растущего недовольства рабочих условиями труда (фабричные рабочие, например, вообще сидели на скамьях без спинок) британская компания «Tan-Sad» впервые по-настоящему озаботилась осанкой служащих и выпустила вращающееся кресло с изогнутой спинкой, высота которой могла регулироваться.

Suffice it to look at the above photographs of office spaces in the 1920s to realize that the best a clerical worker could hope for was a swivel chair with a back that was hardly comfortable, which reflects a common idea that comfort equaled laziness. However, as workers’ discontent deepened (e.g. some plants still used backless benches as seating), Tan-Sad, an English office furniture-maker registered in 1922, came up with what can be described as the world’s first posture-friendly swivel chair with a curved backrest that could be adjusted depending on the height of the seater.
