A new Karim Rashid collaboration with Raynor Contract was revealed today at the NeoCon show; a task chair with a very unusual form factor, one designed with the body's pressure points in mind. We're guessing the Chakra is the sort of chair which will split opinions, due in part to its distinct and unique design. We're holding out on any opinion for the day we get to try out the chair in person, since function/comfort is ultimately the most important deciding factor when considering a task chair. What's your initial reaction?

I don't like that green colour, and I would have to try it out to know how it feels before I could form a real opinion on it.... but if it were in a different colour (like, black), the only thing that really turns me off is the seat.
It does need to be more adjustable though. Not all bodies are the same height and not all heads would fit comfortably on that head rest. It looks to me like it'd feel like a dentists chair if not adjusted properly for your body. And at a desk, you should be sitting straighter- it looks like the back would curve too much backwards once you've rested on it.
Maybe it's because I'm reading this while watching "Criminal Minds", but there's something a bit creepy looking about it...
It looks like it could be comfortable if it's adjustable. I think I'd like it better in a more subdued colour but that's just me.
it would have to be amazingly comfortable for me to tolerate it. It looks like something from 'The Pod People Go Shopping'
