Top Ergonomic Office Chairs By Eurotech Seating

If you are searching for the ultimate in comfort for your workplace, adding new ergonomic furniture is a great way to start. This type of furniture allows for extreme adjustability and personalization so that you can make any item you may need for your office as unique as you are. While all ergonomic products make wonderful tools, nothing has made such strides in design as the common office chair, and in the field of ergonomic office chairs, nothing beats Eurotech Seating! Here, we will highlight some of the top chairs that Eurotech offers so that you can make your office your own.

Apollo Mesh Back Computer Chair

The first chair we bring to you is a chair the very picture of beauty. The Apollo Mesh Back Computer Chair was named after a famous god probably because it lives up to such high standards. The reason ergonomic mesh chairs have become so popular is due to their breathability which allows air flow to reach the sitter and cool them, so they can remain comfortable. Not only does the Apollo mesh back include this cooling feature, but it also boasts a contoured waterfall seat as well as adjusting applications for control. This remarkable chair is a fantastic addition to any office furniture configuration without a doubt.

Indy Series Accented Office Chair


For a chair thats a little more cushy, check out the Indy Series Accented Office Chair for your office. In this chair, the mesh fabric provides coolness as well as plush comfort. Complete with a polished aluminum base, this chair combines luxury with class, making it a titan among popular office chairs in the workplace. As with all ergonomic office chairs worth their salt, it also features tilt-lock suspension controls for maximum user versatility.

Verona Series Luxury Office Chair

For the ultimate in stylish executive chairs, you cant beat the Verona Series Luxury Office Chair in style or lavishness. With this chair, when we say "luxury" we definitely mean it. Not only does the Verona chair cover all the basics that make ergonomic chairs so great, featuring tilt-locks and tension control, but it also boasts a beautifully elegant finish. The one of the best leather office chairs on the market, this chair's upholstery clothes not just the seat and back, but also padded roll armrests and caps as well! For any office that wants elegant beauty without sacrificing comfort, this chair is an absolute must!

Tribeca Modern Fabric Office Chair


The simple beauty of the Tribeca Modern Fabric Office Chair designates it a place among the highest ranks in fabric executive chairs on the market today! The elegant curves of this chair would look wonderful in any collection of conference room furniture  or even home office furniture without a doubt. The waterfall seat curves comfortably against the body, and the tilt controls leave nothing to be desired in the realm of relaxation. The users of this gorgeous little chair can sit all day long without missing a thing offered by the bulkier chairs typical of the executive office. It is the very definition of serene simplicity.

Wau Series High Back Mesh Chair

And finally, we leave you with one of the most popular mesh back chairs around. Its no surprize that the Wau Series High Back Mesh Chair leaves all of its users in awe. Available in two stunning color combos, the Wau chair leaves a lasting impression on almost anyone that comes across it. Its mesh fabric allows air flow for cooling so the user always feels refreshed. Additionally, the chair is a revolutionary example of modern task chairs, with more controls and adjusting features than almost any other. This is a chair for the individual, and each chair is just as unique! Great for any office, the Wau will have you saying "wow" for sure!

DIY + Giveaway | Using Decoupage from Furniture Makeovers



Earlier this spring I wrote a little review on Knack Studios' Barb Blair's new book, Furniture Makeovers and now we're thrilled to bring you a DIY from the book as we ride along on the book's official blog tour! Chronicle Books sent over one of my favorite projects from the book, "Using Decoupage". And as you'll see Barb's technique and explanation, make for a simple project that anyone can do. I know I have an old dresser here just waiting for a good makeover! But first, check out this cute trailer for the book!



And now here's the instructions on how to decoupage (Knack-style):

Using Découpage

Découpage is an age-old technique that was used centuries ago in places like France, China, and Russia and was extremely popular in the 1960s when crafting became the “groovy” thing to do! The word découpage actually means “the art of using cut-out paper, plastic, or other flat material over which varnish or lacquer is applied.” Over the past several years, découpage has evolved, and even modern enthusiasts have embraced its beauty.

 

Before you start, prepare your piece of furniture by filling any unevenness or holes with wood filler using a putty spatula, sanding with a fine sanding sponge, and cleaning the surface with a damp shop towel. You want the surface to be completely smooth before you apply the paper design.

Materials
Ruler
Paper for your design
Scissors or craft knife
Adhesive: wallpaper paste if using wallpaper, or Mod Podge depending on the paper being used
Small paint tray
Paintbrushes: small craft brush for adhesive, Purdy Nylox brush for final Mod Podge layer, and White China Brush Series brush for polyurethane finish
Craft knife
Plastic squeegee
Mod Podge
Polyurethane, water based
Sanding sponge



1. Measure with a ruler and cut the paper carefully with your scissors or craft knife so that it matches the size of the area to be covered. Pour an ample amount of adhesive into a small paint tray, and using the craft brush, apply a thin layer of adhesive to both the surface of the furniture and the back of the paper. You will want to keep the adhesive only in the area where you are working. Adhesive dries quickly, so apply the paper immediately, and lay the paper design down carefully.

 


2. Once you’ve applied the paper to the piece of furniture, smooth it gently with your fingers. I recommend using a small plastic squeegee to get the paper ultra-smooth and squeeze out any excess glue that will cause rippling. The most important thing is to work from the center of the paper out to the edges; this technique works out any air bubbles and excess glue. Be sure to keep some extra towels on hand to keep your fingers clean while working with the paper. You do not want to transfer glue or dirt from your hands to the top of the paper. I promise there will be lots of glue on your fingers, as this is a very messy technique, so try to keep your hands as clean as possible throughout the project.



3. Continue applying pieces of paper as stated above, working in sections until the furniture you are working on is entirely covered with the desired amount of paper. Upon completion of each section, apply a layer of Mod Podge over the top with the Nylox brush, especially in a collage design, to ensure proper adhesion.




4. When all of the paper has been applied, and the Mod Podge is completely dry, it is time to apply a coat of polyurethane to the project. This provides both a nice finished look and protection for the paper you have so lovingly applied to your piece. I highly recommend a polyurethane coating over Mod Podge, because I have found that sometimes Mod Podge can remain “tacky” even when it is completely dry. A polyurethane coat, applied with the China brush, ensures a smoother surface, and will dry completely. After you have applied two to three coats of polyurethane, allowed proper drying times, and sanded lightly with a sanding sponge between each coat, your piece is ready to go.

Whether it be decoupaging, dry brushing, stenciling, using milk paint, the techniques are endless and guaranteed to bring inspiration to your next furniture makeover project.  Definitely a must-have if you're considering refinishing an old piece.

Summer Tunes + Art | Boards of Canada



Today's summer tunes and art post is sort of a combination of both. This video from Boards of Canada from their album, 'Tomorrow's Harvest' is a bit of an art piece I'd say and it's not hard to kind of get pulled in and swept away in it; especially near the end where it feels as though you're flying. So I'll leave it at that. Enjoy and wishing you a fantastic weekend!
