Most seating is built for sitting upright. Precision work is not.
Detailed work means leaning in, reaching, and holding a posture for hours. Most stools were never built for that.

K Fisher Designs customer discovery, June 2026, n=16.
Backrests are built for a position you are rarely in.
When you work leaned forward, the backrest is dead weight while the real strain builds in your hips and lower back.
Chest supports relieve your back, then steal your reach.
A front support feels good until it pushes you farther from the work, and your neck and shoulders pay for it.
"Ergonomic" is mostly a marketing word.
Real ergonomics matches the work: can you get close, move freely, stay stable, and does the height actually fit.
What we are building.
01
A split saddle.
Keeps your hips open and neutral without the soft-tissue pressure a single saddle creates.
02
Backless, built for forward work.
Nothing to lean into, nothing blocking your reach.
03
Hands-free, foot-actuated height.
Change your height without taking your hands off the work. This is the piece we are still testing.
04
Breaks down for travel.
The legs come apart so it packs down for guest spots, conventions, and mobile work, where good seating barely exists.
Early concept, design in progress. A prototype is coming this summer. The travel breakdown is already designed; the seat geometry and the foot pedal are being refined now.

Currently in development
We are in validation, not on a shelf.
We are building this with professionals instead of guessing from the outside. A prototype is coming this summer, and the people who shape it now are the ones we are building it for.
Field Notes
How fatigue affects precision work.
Precision work is not just hand work. This note explains how seat support, reach, posture, shoulders, neck, and the hand work together during long seated sessions.
