ouchy!

so i’ve been sitting in front of the computer for too long doing the usual, post processing, designing, blog snooping, shopping, blah blah blah… and now, my back, my back, MY BACK!!!  this is the not the first time my back went into crazy pain after sitting in front of the computer for too long.  i think it’s finally time for me to plunge down the money and get me self a CUTE, ergonomic chair.

let’s meet some of the contestants.

aeron chair $949 ~ $979 – the one, the original.  can’t help but feel well supported.  my back pain will be substituted with the new wallet pain.

chadwick chair $586 – from the same designer as the aeron, don chadwick.  simple and discrete, i actually like the look of chadwick more than the aeron.  the price also makes it more attractive.  however, it still screams OFFICE chair to me.

eames aluminum management chair $1,075 ~ $1,998 - this one is a looker.  it’s simple, it’s classic, and it doesn’t scream office.  the drawback is the obvious crazy price tag, and the support doesn’t even come close to a chair you would find at your local office depot.

mirra task chair $799 – this one might be my favorite so far.  it comes in a few variety of colors, and the support is actually even better than the aeron.  not to mention cheaper too (ok, not by much).  the chair really molds and contours to the shape of the human body.  i’m not too crazy with its aesthetic, but i guess it’s a bit quirky and unique.  a serious contender.

so far i’ve only checked out dwr.  if you know any other cute and comfy chairs, please share with me and my back.
