aeris-Impulsmöbel is based in Germany and is the world’s leading manufacturer of motion seating solutions. Via Motion Seating distributes the German-engineered swopper, swopper AIR, muvman and soon to be released 3Dee chair. All products incorporate intuitive motion to combat static postures – sitting and standing.

“Motion is key to improving health for employees who sit or stand for long periods of time at work,” said Nora Fenlon, Certified Associate Ergonomist and VP of Sales & Marketing for Via Seating. “Our German counterpart will help us advance our ‘movement philosophy’ through innovative motion seating products.”

When aeris-Impulsmöbel introduced swopper, the motion-based chair/stool garnered worldwide recognition for its design and function. Swopper was a Best of NeoCon winner at its first showing in the U.S.

The US market is steadily embracing ‘active sitting’ as a healthier alternative to traditional task seating. Via is well positioned to provide the market with products that are recognized as best in class for this newly emerging ‘Motion Seating’ category. Both swopper and muvman have been recently featured in the Wall Street Journal and NY Times among many other publications.
