'Trialog' is a three legged wooden chair, designed for reverse sitting. It has a back rest that also serves as an arm rest.When we are sitting in conversations we are likely to sink down in our chair after a while or sometimes don't really know where to put our arms and hands. Often this results in crossing the arms in front of our chests, leading to a much more passive body language. Reverse sitting gives us a more upright as well as pro active posture and can improve body language. Besides the reverse way of sitting you can also choose to sit sideways or the conventional way, due to the single chair leg in the back your own legs are beeing activated while sitting the other way around. Trialog is a design discussion between the physical, psychological and conceptual form which results in an ecological, empowering and ergonomic piece of handcrafted furniture.
