Noonee: Ergonomic support for industrial workplaces

Noonee is an innovation-driven company that specializes in ergonomic aids for industrial and craft work environments. The focus is on how physically demanding activities can be made healthier in the long term without restricting work processes. Noonee became known primarily for its Chairless Chair—a portable seating solution that allows users to switch between standing, sitting, and a relieving intermediate position at any time. The company specifically targets workplaces where standing for long periods of time or frequent work in a bent position is part of everyday life. Noonee's solutions are particularly valued in the automotive industry, in manufacturing, and in assembly. There, they help to reduce physical fatigue and noticeably lower the strain on the back, legs, and joints. At the same time, freedom of movement and flexibility are fully maintained, which is crucial for industrial processes.

Foundation, idea, and ergonomic approach

Noonee was founded in Switzerland in 2014. The starting point was the observation that classic ergonomic concepts such as chairs or standing aids are not practical in many industrial work environments. Production lines, assembly stations, or changing work positions require solutions that are mobile and adapt to people—not the other way around. Noonee's vision is to improve the health of employees in the long term while increasing efficiency in the workplace. Ergonomics is not seen as an add-on, but as an integral part of modern work organization. By combining biomechanical expertise, lightweight construction, and intelligent mechanics, Noonee has established itself as a pioneer in the field of wearable ergonomic systems.

The Chairless Chair as the core product

Noonee's core product is the Chairless Chair, a wearable seating aid that is worn directly on the body. It works without motors or electronics, instead using a mechanical system that distributes body weight across the legs when sitting. Users can “sit down” at any time without needing a traditional chair. The Chairless Chair offers several practical advantages in everyday work:

• Relief for the back, knees, and legs during standing activities
• Smooth transition between standing, sitting, and working positions
• Full freedom of movement while working
• Can be used at assembly, manufacturing, and testing stations
• Individually adjustable to body size and work requirements

The Chairless Chair is used particularly in automotive and electronics manufacturing, for example in assembly work, quality control, or activities at a consistent working height. There, it helps to reduce fatigue and maintain concentration over longer periods of time.

Health, sustainability, and industrial relevance

Noonee attaches great importance to durable designs and sustainable materials. The components used are designed for a long service life and are partially recyclable. At the same time, the health benefits are clearly in the foreground. Studies and practical experience show that using the Chairless Chair reduces muscle fatigue and can lower the risk of back problems. For companies, this not only means an improvement in working conditions, but also a contribution to the prevention of absenteeism and long-term health problems. With its clear focus on ergonomics, practicality, and industrial requirements, Noonee has established itself as a relevant provider of modern, people-friendly workplaces.
