A Wellington-based former physiotherapist turned entrepreneur has been hailed for making "the world's healthiest desk". Bart De Vries' attractive and easily adjustable birchwood Limber desks help create a work space where he says we can move more - and possibly live longer. Bart is on a mission with his new company Limber to prevent back pain, having honed his experience as a professional hockey player and his time working as a physio with professional sports people into furniture that keeps us on the move. The Californian academic who is among those singinf his praises is Galen Cranz https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/ninetonoon/audio/2018815250/galen-cranz-keeping-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat, who has featured on Nine to Noon.
What chair do you sit on the most hours of the day? And is it comfortable? Do you think chairs fit our bodies well, or are they designed to be recognizable as a chair? On this episode of The Futures Archive designer Lee Moreau and this episode's guest host, Judith Anderson, discuss the history and design of the chair, and the role and importance of prototyping. With additional insights this week from Galen Cranz, Pat Kirkham, and Gregor Finger.
Professor of Social Architecture at the University of California, Galen Cranz hasn't had conventional chairs in her house for some 20 years, out of concern for how damaging they are to our health. She prefers stools, including ones that wobble. She doesn't want us to keep still. Professor Cranz says right-angled chairs force a C-slumped spine, causing the chest to cave in, the pelvis to crunch, the lower back to collapse, our head to jut forward putting pressure on our neck. Many of us are left with all sorts of aches and pains, especially as we spend long hours in front of a computer. Professor Cranz concurs with research published in the American Journal of Public Health suggesting sitting for prolonged periods can be more damaging to our heart health than smoking. But, as she tell Kathryn Ryan, she has some solutions. Professor Cranz is a designer, a consultant specialising in chairs and body conscious design, author of The Chair: Rethinking Culture, Body, and Design and a certified Alexander Technique teacher.

ENGLISH FOLLOWSGalen Cranz est une designer, consultante et professeur émérite au département d'architecture à l'Université de Californie à Berkeley. Elle prône le design de vêtements, de maisons, de lieux de travail et d'espaces publics qui mettent l'humain au premier plan. J'ai découvert son travail fascinant grâce au livre The Chair, qui inspire à repenser la place des chaises dans nos vies et qui met en lumière des principes fondamentaux pour créer des espaces propices au mouvement (livre qu'on a couvert ici dans notre club de lecture). Dans cet épisode, Galen nous parle de ce qui l'a menée à écrire un livre sur les chaises et présente le Body Conscious Design, une approche qui prend en considération les besoins du corps humain dans une optique de bien-être. Je crois sincèrement que la vision de Galen Cranz est l'avenir du design actif pour la maison. C'est pourquoi je suis si enthousiaste et reconnaissante d'avoir pu discuter avec elle de son parcours et de son approche. Galen Cranz is a designer, a consultant, and a Professor of the Graduate School in the Architecture Department at the University of California at Berkeley. She advocates for the design of clothes, homes, work places, and public spaces that put humans first. I discovered her fascinating work thanks to the book The Chair, which inspires us to rethink the place of chairs in our lives and which highlights fundamental principles for creating spaces conducive to movement (book that we covered here in our Book Club - in French).In this episode, Galen tells us about what brought her to write a book on chairs and introduces Body Conscious Design, an approach that takes into account the needs of the human body from a holistic wellness perspective. I sincerely believe that Galen Cranz's vision is the future of active design for the home. This is why I am so enthusiastic and grateful to have been able to discuss with her about her journey and her approach.
In line with this month's "Furniture" theme, Amelia Taylor-Hochberg speaks with Galen Cranz, an architecture professor at UC Berkeley specializing in body-conscious design. Cranz is trained in the "Alexander Technique" – a method for "correcting" the body's poor habits of movement, that can limit self-awareness in a space. Before coming to Cal to teach architecture, Cranz received her PhD in sociology from the University of Chicago, influencing her pedagogy of architecture and furniture to primarily be about how humans occupy designs, and how social hierarchies emerge from those conventions.
Galen Cranz, a retired Professor of Architecture at the University of California, Berkeley talks about how her lessons in the Technique greatly alleviated her scoliosis. Galen later went on to become a teacher of the Alexander Technique. This podcast is the audio version of a 4-part video series, My Personal Journey with Scoliosis, produced by Michael Avery.
