History

Osler stated he developed the design after transitioning to a desk job after 30 years in the operating room as a trauma surgeon.[1][3] In his role as a research epidemiologist, Osler spent up to 60 hours a week sitting[1] and claimed to develop back pain as a result.[4][5] Osler said he conceived his own design after he was unable to find an affordable ergonomic chair.[3] Along with his son, Lex,[2] Osler founded QOR360 in 2016.[6] In 2022 the Financial Times reported that the increase in working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic resulted increased sales of the chairs.[6]

The chairs are designed around a feature Osler patented as RedRocker technology;[1] a dome-shaped rubber piece beneath the seat that allows it to wobble and pivot.[2] Each model of chair resembles a stool.[1][7] The chair’s design requires the sitter to keep both feet on the ground and places the knees below the hips.[1] The chair can rock in all directions.[8]

In 2022 QOR360 designed a chair called the ButtOn, that can be constructed using free, downloadable plans.[4]
