The Webble: Make Your Office Chair Fun

Posted by Tanya Hall

This is an interesting idea: if your chair at the office has wheels so you can zoom around from fax machine to filing cabinet, why should your feet miss out on the fun?

The Webble is an active footrest which claims to have some health benefits, but really it seems like a cool toy to me!

It rolls on four smooth gliding coasters and features a spring suspension and mesh membrane for comfort and flexibility.

According to the guys who made it, “The Webble’s open frame combines strength and style in an unmistakable form that challenges the assumption that life under your desk couldn’t possibly be fun.”

Well under my desk is a plethora of empty crisp packets and enough pairs of shoes to put Emilda Marcos’s collection to shame. That indicates a bit of fun going on, but I sense what I really need to get the party happening down there is a Webble.

This device comes in black, red or silver and would also be handy for skating down the hallway the next time you have to visit the kitchen.

I mentioned that the Webble also had added health benefits. The idea is that as the Webble increases your leg activity while you’re seated, it promotes better physiological being.

The Webble was created as a workplace wellness product, and to liven the place up a bit seeing as we spend so much time there.

Price: £135 ($199.95) with free shipping
