Most conventional chairs are designed based on the idea that sitting is a static state, even though the human body is designed to move. Swing Ao has a tension structure that allows the seat to move freely in conjunction with the movement of the sitter's pelvis. This promotes a feeling of floating and the movement of the pelvis, spine, and surrounding muscles, activating the body's functions just like playing on a small swing. Additionally, it can be used as a stationary stool with an 8-degree angled seat surface to maintain a healthy posture with an elongated spine.

The integration of high precision CNC techniques with traditional craftsmanship results in a contemporary piece that evokes retro-futuristic sensibilities while ensuring structural integrity.

The seat holds foam of 30 density, and the feet are carbon steel painted with automotive paint. The cover is natural fabric. The gap between the seat and the floor makes cleaning easier.
