Story of success

Story of success

Because of pain in the back in 1999 I went to see several doctors and physiotherapists, who gave me the advice to sit during work on an orthopaedic ball. I discovered that sitting on such a ball is very beneficial, yet during work rather tiresome and unpractical. That's why I manufactured for my personal use a chair that excellently imitated sitting on a ball, yet this still wasn't a proper chair.
Only after my clients, who came to see me on behalf of advertisement banners, expressed how they too would like to have such a chair, did I start to think how to organize its production and marketing. But I had first to check the opinion of the medical profession.
I made contact with orthopaedist Prof. dr. sci. Janko Popovič Dr. med. — he was during our first telephone conversation very skeptical, saying that he gets some 20 chairs per year for an evaluation and that he hasn't yet recommended a single one. This didn't give me much selfconfidence, yet in spite of that I went to visit him. When he gave me his congratulations for this chair my spirit has got wings and I decided to start producing it for others.

I presented my patented invention for the first time on the Alpe Adria Dom 2000 Fair. On the day the fair was opening, my girlfriend and I were assembling four chairs until five in the morning. The response of the fair visitors was exceptional — thus the work paid out in the end. Neither did this exciting response drop down on the remaining fairs in Slovenia, like on the furniture fair in Ljubljana and the trade fair in Celje. A lot of the fair visitors visited us in our exhibition and sales room after the fairs closed. On the trade fair in Celje in the year 2001 we have received the thousandth order for a SpinaliS chair. It took 11 developmental steps until it received its final form of a modern office chair. The sales are increasing every day. The SpinaliS chair with a movable seat doesn't allow passive sitting. This means that the back muscles are constantly engaged and are being strengthened. This again means that the pressure on the intervertebral discs is decreasing, which has a favourable effect on the entire spinal column. I recommend this chair to you.
