There is provided a sit-stand stool comprising a seat adapted to support a pelvis of a user and a base. The base supports the seat and is adapted to securely engage a floor. The base is adapted to provide a tilting motion of the seat, between a raised position and a forwardly inclined position, in a vertical plane about a pivot axis in accordance with the posture of the user while constraining the movement to prevent lateral tilting or inclination transverse to the vertical plane. The base is also adapted to prevent a rearward motion beyond the raised position, and a forward motion beyond the forwardly inclined position in order to reduce the risks for the user to lose stability. Such a stool permits to the user to stabilize his posture, without being in a completely seated position.

Seating device

A seating device comprising a connecting element having an end portion dimensioned to be releasably and rotatably inserted into an aperture defined in a ground or floor. The aperture is dimensioned to receive the connecting element so as to support the seating device. The seating device also comprises a supporting element connected to a seat. The supporting element is pivotably connected to the connecting element. Moreover, at least one of the connecting element and supporting element comprises at least one stop so as to permit the supporting element to pivot between a first position whereat the supporting element is in a substantially vertical position, and a second position whereat the supporting element is forwardly inclined of 30 degrees or less with respect to the first position. Such a device is particularly useful for persons who need to stabilize their posture while performing a task.
