Du. is the world’s first
Equipoised Chair.
What is Equipoise?
Equipoise is balance perfected—it eliminates strain, resistance, and reliance on mechanisms that do the work for you.
To create Equipoised seating, we had to perfect balanced seating transitions—stand-to-sit and sit-to-stand.
The result is du.—a revolutionary new chair that moves with you—not for you—giving you independence and ease of movement.
What makes du. different?
The du. chair is not a lift chair. In fact, you could say it’s the ultimate anti-lift chair.
The du. chair moves with you—not for you—bringing ease, joy, and confidence every time you go to sit down or stand up.
Inspired by the ground-breaking movement innovations of filmmaking and sports broadcasting.
Home to Down Up (DU) transition technology – no electricity or batteries required.
Elegant Award-Winning design brings ease, joy, and confidence into the home.
It’s Down. Up. Genius.
The du. chair was designed based on findings from research we conducted with human movement experts.
We worked with the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and award-leading inventors and industrial designers to develop our award-winning Du. Chair.
Why we made du.
“Biomechanically, rising from a chair is perhaps one of the toughest tasks, requiring a great amount of strength and motion...”
~ Hughes, Myers, & Schenkman, 1996
Sitting down and standing up from a chair is hard, and near impossible for some.
We listened to the frustrations of Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists around the current assisted chair offerings and decided there was a better and healthier way to facilitate stand-to-sit and sit-to-stand transitions.
The du. chair is our considered and award-winning design response and solution to this issue.
