(21)Part of Humanscale’s award-winning Freedom seating line, the Saddle and Pony task stools are the most comfortable, versatile and ergonomic stools ever made. The original Saddle and the compact Pony Saddle make sitting comfortable and workplace movement simple while complementing any workspace or home office. The triangular cushion of the Saddle and Pony saddle stools encourages users to sit in a “saddle” posture. Sitting on stools in this position lowers the thighs, opens up the hips and allows for increased circulation. The posture also reduces pressure points on the tailbone, enabling long-term comfort.
