Tested to Improve Concentration and Calm
“Students who have difficulty concentrating, are much calmer when sitting on Muista active chairs. Because the chair can swing, students hold their balance and fidget less while concentrating more on the tasks at hand.“
- Brain Gym Vilnius (Cognitive Skills Development Center) after 3 months of Muista chair testing the teachers.

"NATURALLY STRAIGHTENS YOUR BACK"
“This is a chair that not only makes back muscles work, it also springs to action thighs, buttocks and abdominal muscles.
I notice how my clients, while sitting on Muista chair, naturally straighten their backs and smile, saying that it’s a surprising pleasure to have such movement freedom while sitting. I sincerely recommend it!”
-Rasa Danilinaite, physical therapist
"maintains your balance"
Just get on the MUISTA chair and focus on the things you are working on. The rest is anatomy:
Your body naturally starts to sway from side to side, backwards and forwards, dancing with gravity. And then it stops. And then continues again. All efortless and involving muscle groups and joints otherwise left still and forgotten while sitting.

Unique Combination of 2 Sitting Positions
Muista is a healthy alternative to regular desk chairs that lets you decide how you want it:
Sit still or fidget, sway or wiggle both by sitting saddle-like or bench-like. You change the sitting position just by turning the chair. Both sitting positions are quite different in that they make different muscle groups work while sitting – the saddle position gives you forwards rocking direction while the bench makes it sideways.
"My chair lives in the kitchen at the kitchen table where I am continuously popping up and down. So easy to use. Also fits under the table for space saving.
When we have dinner in the dining room I carry it through. It’s light and easy to carry so I need no help. And when we have lots of guests it moves into the lounge area. Often everyone wants to try it out, so it’s also a good conversation piece.
I have back problems and find it sometimes difficult to get up from dining or lounge chairs. With my Muista chair this is no problem. Also, because you can sit straddled or from the side, as well as the rocking, I can always adjust my position. A big plus for me is that I need no help in carrying my favorite chair from room to room. I do recommend my chair to everyone."
"My son is using the Muista chair on his desk for his homework and all other things he does at the desk.
He has ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and therefore trouble concentrating. But research has shown that a little bit of movement is better for these kids to concentrate than sitting still. When we saw the Muista chair, we thought this was the perfect chair for him. Our son loves the chair and uses it every day. He really seems to be able to concentrate better and work for a longer period of time.
We would definitely recommend the chair to other kids with ADHD. But actually, we can recommend the chair to anyone. We are thinking of getting one for everybody in our household – just because they are so comfortable."

"I really enjoy both the design and implementation of the Muista Chair. Initially it took my butt a little bit to get used to it. I’d sit for a while and then switch to a regular chair. Now I use the Muista Chair almost every day as my primary desk chair."

LOVELY TO UNBOX
CUSTOM PACKAGE
We care not only about the joy you get when you sit on your brand new Muista chair, but also about that unboxing excitement.
Our custom box wraps around the chair and keeps it in place perfectly, preventing any damage while the chair is in transit to its new home. This solution lets us use much less packaging fillers (usually plastic) than with regular boxes.
While plastic bag is inevitable in order to deliver your new chair safely, our bags are easily recyclable. Also we use water based glue instead of scotch-tape for sealing the box, that makes our packaging at least a bit more eco-friendly.
ALL ABOUT PTROTECTION

A stylish solution for hip pain
I've had a desk job for over 30 years and have been suffering with terrible hip pain. I fell in love with the Muista rocking stool the moment l saw a picture of it online. In addition to the health benefits, it's just so amazingly beautiful and well made. I've been using my Muista for about 2 weeks and I'm astounded. It took about 4 days to get used to it, but then my pain receded and I have more flexibility than I've had for years. The design encourages natural posture, in fact it's hard to slouch on a Muista. Overall, it's been the best health improvement purchase I've made in years.

Looks good, feels good
I use this at my task desk, where I'm at the computer for hours on end. I like to move around some, and that usually means taking my laptop to the kitchen counter or somewhere I can change posture. The Muista chair helps me avoid having to do that, especially since I can shift between straddling it or sitting sidesaddle. In addition to the fidget-friendliness, it’s an affordable combination of compact, modern and build quality. It’s just straight up handsome. And I like supporting a small, engaged company.

Best stool for playing music
I use Muista chair in my music studio and it has been great so far! Long hours playing does not become so tiring and I am happy to sit on it in 10+ ways:)

I use it when working at my desk, and also as my chair when sitting at the dining table
I have slightly shorter legs than most people. This means that on chairs of standard height, I can either use the back rest OR reach the floor with my feet. But not both simultaneously. Many ordinary chairs make my legs “fall asleep” because I don’t reach the floor, or they make me slump in the back. I could just use a slightly lower chair, but then there is the problem of also having to lower all the tables... The Muista chair has solved these problems, by helping to better posture and more movement when sitting.
It is a great way of getting more movement when sitting. It is nice looking and does not take up much space. I used to sit on a pilates ball, and I find the Muista chair looks much better in the room, takes less space when not in use and offers more possibilities for variation and movement.

As I am working from home since April I sit more or less the whole day
on my MUISTA keeping any neck or back problem far far away - happy to
state that the all day long term experiment is more than satisfying -
thanks!

The stool has been a real game changer for me in terms of posture, and I'm a personal trainer so should know how to sit but the stool has really helped with lower back and hip stiffness from being stuck at home... plus it is fun too! :))

Awesome!
As lockdown meant I was working from home, I wanted a stylish, practical stool that was also great for my posture.
This is great! It is impossible to slouch, and it is great for the lower back and hips too.
A great design, that I would highly recommend.
the saddle seat is slightly hard at first, but you get used to it.
Arrived super quick in really clever packaging too.
