I’m not sure how appropriate this is to post here; I figured
a forum dedicated to keyboards would appreciate an ergonomic
office chair, since the two tend to go hand in hand, being
part of your work space.
I’ll start this off by mentioning Chris Pirillo, many
of you are probably familiar with him, if not, I’m sure
you’ll look him up if you’re interested.
This is the
only person I’ve seen with one of these chairs, and the only
person who has discussed them, albeit generally and it’s
worth noting that the Grahl Synchron 8 is no longer
produced, although Grahl still makes chairs, they are
designed completely differently and lack the same aesthetic
as the discontinued Synchron 8.
Here are some videos of
him talking about his chair:
And here are some old,
sources for information on the Synchron 8:

Needless to say, when I saw this chair a few years
ago, I’ve wanted one ever since, it just has this
sci-fi/star trek aesthetic to it that I really dig, and
it looks comfortable.
So you’re thinking, well that’s
great but it’s discontinued, what good is all this to me?
Well
after about a day of Google searching, I managed to randomly
find a South Korean company that manufacture’s a very
similar chair to the Grahl Synchron 8
http://www.duorest.com/new/product/02_duorest_1_dr120.html
Now as it turns out this is no coincidence. Duorest
in fact has a license agreement with Grahl dating back to
1995:
Here’s a video in Japanese showing off the assembly
and function of a chair, similar to the DR-120:
And
finally here’s a Japanese reseller with much better pictures
of the chair than are on the manufacturer’s website:
http://tore-tate.co.jp/products/3069/
Here’s the problem though, Duorest doesn’t distribute
the DR-120 or any of it’s polymer/steel framed chairs
to the US, only the wood back variety, and only in
leather.
So that’s where you guys come in. I haven’t
spoken to the company yet, but I will contact them and ask
about organizing a group buy for this model/Will put
this on Massdrop, assuming there is enough interest.
If
this particular model doesn’t take your fancy, but the style
does, you can buy a similar model at Staples, online only:
