About Tyler Baum

Chairs originated 5,900 years ago in Ancient Egypt, initially serving as ceremonial symbols of wealth and pride rather than common furniture. Though now essential, they only became widely used in the 18th century, having evolved from stools and benches. The word "chair" stems from the Latin cathedra, meaning "sit down now". Contrary to common belief, sitting at a strict 90-degree angle is not ideal for the back; a, 94-degree angle is better for reducing spinal pressure.
