SONG Yilin and her other 4 team members co-designed a revolvable chair-back. After sitting on the chair for a long time, the person needed only to lean slightly on the chair-back so that he/she could easily twist his/her waist for relax. The revolvable chair-back proved to be an ideal tool to relieve fatigue and improve efficiency.
