The Balanzio Chair is a school furniture piece designed to encourage active learning in children. This balance chair features a seat that moves in a circular motion based on the child's weight, requiring them to constantly maintain balance. In other words, it promotes and stimulates the child's balance and mobility. As a result, the specific motor development of a growing child is positively influenced. The furniture is made from reclaimed tropical hardwood and finished with afrormosia beeswax.
