Оригинал взят у в Из истории крутящегося кресла. [500x]
В нашем представлении рабочее кресло- это нечто на одной ноге с распорками и на колесиках.

[x620]  [x620]

Крутящиеся стулья и кресла изобрели очень давно, глядя на многие из них- и не подумаешь, что сиденье может вращаться.

[x600] [x610]

В первую очередь их использовали в комплекте с бюро или письменным столом, но были и гостиные, и будуарные кресла с хитрым вращающимся механизмом.
Здесь старинные вращающиеся кресла из дерева и очень редкие кресла с чугунной основой, также гнутые, плетеные и немного дизайнерских 20-го века.



---------Вертушки-Кабинетые-Офисные-------------
==============================================

В некоторых источниках автором первого офисного кресла считается третий президент США, Томас Джефферсон.
Стул Франклина с встроенной лесенкой я показывала в прошлом посте.

А также музыкальные стулья с поворотным механизмом:

Принцип поворотного сиденья был известен задолго до "открытия" Джефферсона, так что Америка в этом плане- "родина слонов" только в том плане, что внедрила такие кресла в офисы.

Музыкальные стулья не поместились, покажу отдельным постом.

=====================

Swivel chairs have been around since 1800 when Thomas Jefferson invented one to allow the poorly treated office workers of the time a bit more comfort whilst multitasking.

Up until then the office chair was just a hard wooden affair, not dissimilar to a dining chair. The swivel feature allowed the worker to easily access different areas of the desk, in order to undertake different tasks.

These chairs, however, still looked like dining or captains chairs, just mounted on an early version of a 5 star base.
Soon after the arrival of swivel chairs, some bright spark fitted furniture castors to the bottom of these bases, and the office swivel chair was born.
