Sitting in a chair right now and I haven&#8217;t got to do the full experience yet but you&#8217;re gonna tell us about it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Violet Chen:<\/strong> Right, so the design of our this chair is called Napa. The design of behind this chair is first of all it&#8217;s it&#8217;s elegant and beautiful. Most of us who work from home a lot of times you&#8217;re you might be working in your living room and you don&#8217;t want a very intrusive black office chair in your living room so the color of this chair is amber and the second of all when you&#8217;re sitting a long time at home you actually we believe ergonomics is about movement and changing positions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allison:<\/strong> I am all over that \u2014 I like to sit with my legs crossed in my chair.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Violet Chen:<\/strong> So with the retractable footrest it&#8217;s designed to be very sturdy so you can try the cross-leg position.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allison:<\/strong> Oh my goodness that is I&#8217;ve been wanting to cross my legs all day this is fabulous. It&#8217;s so good.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Violet Chen:<\/strong> And then you move it a bit longer now you&#8217;re in the huddle position.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allison:<\/strong> The huddle?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Violet Chen:<\/strong> Yeah we call it the huddle position so it&#8217;s kind of like you&#8217;re holding yourself but you&#8217;re really the huddle position also helps to stretch your lower back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allison:<\/strong> Right I can feel the the stress. So I&#8217;ve been standing and walking all day and this feels fantastic on my back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Violet Chen:<\/strong> Oh that&#8217;s awesome.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allison:<\/strong> Just having my feet up some I&#8217;m always looking for a footrest but I&#8217;m still in a really nice kind of modern-looking chair.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Violet Chen:<\/strong> Right, right.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allison:<\/strong> Can I recline here?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Violet Chen:<\/strong> Yes please please. I think after a whole long day of hard work at CES we all deserve to recline a little bit and connect with ourselves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allison:<\/strong> I&#8217;m in heaven here people. I&#8217;m just reclining back and now I&#8217;m not going to work in this position but I might I might watch TV or something like that and take this off but I can still sit up and you&#8217;ve got the armrests you said are adjustable up and down. So now you have some other kinds of what is this chair called again?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Violet Chen:<\/strong> It&#8217;s called Napa. It&#8217;s called Napa ergonomic chair.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allison:<\/strong> Very nice. Oh man, I&#8217;m in love with this chair so I&#8217;m gonna I&#8217;m gonna step out of it though because there are some things here that I&#8217;m gonna describe as really colorful mushrooms but they&#8217;re they&#8217;re cylindrical things.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Violet Chen:<\/strong> Why don&#8217;t you sit in one as well?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allison:<\/strong> Oh yeah. Okay so I&#8217;m gonna I&#8217;m gonna get in the green one lime green and she&#8217;s in the flaming orange. Let me rotate this around so I can do this correctly. All right. Oh off to the side. So are you gonna sit I want you to sit with me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allison:<\/strong> So we&#8217;re sitting on this and it&#8217;s it&#8217;s flexible. So we&#8217;re we&#8217;re both sitting here looking like silly people but that&#8217;s okay. We&#8217;re we&#8217;re just kind of wiggling our spines and that feels kind of like a back massage to do that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Violet Chen:<\/strong> Yeah I think once again that&#8217;s our Bolivian ergonomics is is about movement and this chair encouraged micro-movements throughout. So you can move to exercise your core but also you can move to reflect your back and I think through that movement fatigue is nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allison:<\/strong> That&#8217;s a good description because I mean I don&#8217;t feel like I&#8217;m doing an ab workout but because I&#8217;m allowing myself to move I&#8217;m probably doing a little bit of one and I&#8217;m not sitting in that one position. I&#8217;m terrible about that. Now you told me that something fun happens if I pull on this tab.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Violet Chen:<\/strong> Yeah try it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allison:<\/strong> Yeah it went down and now it perhaps works on your different type of muscle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Violet Chen:<\/strong> That&#8217;s so good for a child.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allison:<\/strong> Yeah so I just went down quite maybe six-eight inches and now I am I can feel it&#8217;s just working a different part of my back. It&#8217;s very comfortable but I can keep moving this and that movement is amazing. I&#8217;ve never seen anything like this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Violet Chen:<\/strong> I&#8217;m glad you like it. I&#8217;m glad you like it. I think it&#8217;s so important to get into the habit of moving. We also call it the love handle killer. A lot of us needed that after the new year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allison:<\/strong> Absolutely absolutely. So what is this chair called?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Violet Chen:<\/strong> It&#8217;s called chair Boba. So Boba is this bouncy thing that you add to your milk tea. It&#8217;s also Asian. It&#8217;s sort of like an Asian snack and we think that this chair is bubbly and bouncy so we call it Boba chair.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allison:<\/strong> That is perfect. Now where could we find the top job? Let&#8217;s see it was Napa and the boba chair.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Violet Chen:<\/strong> So our website is topjob.co. All the products are available on our website currently at a special discount at CES. So the Boba chair is $150 and Napa is $350. So we believe a fair price is important too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Allison:<\/strong> That looks very good. These are fun. They&#8217;re colorful and man I feel better. I should have stopped by here sooner. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n<p>** Violet Chen:** You&#8217;re welcome Allison.
