The chairless chair is a new concept from the manufactures of Audi cars. It's leather wrapped, plastic infused carbon fiber and has hydraulically controlled joints . The "chair" is worn at the back of legs and is held in place by straps at the hips, knees and ankles. In addition to making the assembly worker more comfortable Audi hopes to improve health and decease absenteeism. At the present time there are only three prototypes but Audi intends to expand into all their plants.
