BALIMO »WOOD«

The WOOD model is, alongside the CLASSIC, one of the original models we developed with Eckart Meyners over 20 years ago. The frame is made of local beechwood and constructed without the use of screws; the joints are "tenoned." Only the disc under the seat that limits the tilt angle and the mount for height adjustment are made of metal. Otherwise, it lives up to its name and is made of wood sealed with a clear varnish. Of course, we must also point out that wood, due to its natural properties, is subject to a certain tolerance regarding its visual appearance. Variations in the color/grain of the wooden frame are therefore possible.

The WOOD differs from the CLASSIC not only in its appearance. The WOOD is the only BALIMO® that does not have a gas cylinder for height adjustment, but instead uses a metal pin in the hole in the center bar. This makes height adjustment somewhat more complicated, and requires getting up from the chair to adjust the seat height. This makes this model somewhat unsuitable for use by multiple people of different heights. In this case, the CLASSIC is simply much faster, adjusting to the required seat height for different people with just one finger while sitting.

• The BALIMO® philosophy and information about the seat: The BALIMO®'s completely freely movable 360° joint is embedded in the seat plate and represents a direct extension of the spine. The BALIMO®'s point of movement is thus as close as possible to the body's natural point of movement - the pelvis - without causing any pain. Balancing on the seat trains the muscles located deep beneath the outer back muscles and which cannot be tensed voluntarily (autochthonous) and are responsible for natural posture. The seat also stimulates the deeper back muscles by applying pressure to the acupuncture points near the ischial tuberosities, thus further stimulating the functions of the back muscles. The pelvic floor muscles are also native and are sensitized and trained by the variety of possible pelvic movements on the BALIMO®. By applying pressure to the acupuncture points responsible for the deeper back muscles, the seat ensures a quickly noticeable effect, especially in the lower back area.
