MoChair aims to motivate clients to activate their body while sitting. It provides a more comfortable sitting experience, reducing the potential for sedentary diseases, and more movable space and support that improves mobility and flexibility.

The pelvis and lower back are areas with a high incidence of sedentary diseases. MoChair starts with a hybrid cushion, a body-fitting air cushion with foam padding. Firstly, the middle of the seat is mostly an air cushion, which distributes the pressure on the pelvis to improve blood circulation and reduce the possibility of diseases caused by poor blood circulation such as hemorrhoids. The air cushion in the middle is inflatable in one piece compared to the medical inflatable seat cushion, which can cause the lower back and pelvis to shake when sitting on it, while the foam padding around it controls the shaking range and activates the muscles and joints around the lower back and abdomen in this way, avoiding damage to muscle function and lumbar discs due to prolonged sitting in a fixed position. The thicker cushions ensure a healthy curvature of the spine when leaning back, and the wider design extends to the shoulders to encourage more movement in the sitting position.
