If you are on the lookout for a high tech chair for blast your workplace into the future, here's our top five out-of-this-world ergonomic chairs to help you get started!

Global Arti

It's sort of funny that the the chair which is probably the most normal looking of this bunch is still a bit of a strange image by normal office chair standards, but don't let the looks fool you! The 6670-2 Global Articulating Back Office Chair is one of the most comfortable chairs on the market today. The odd looking back actually articulates like a human spine, allowing for an exceptionally comfortable seating experience. The Arti is designed to mimic the user's profile and respond automatically to the body's movements. It also features a durable construction of internal steel cables, highly graded steel springs, and tough, engineer-grade plastics in the chair's flexible wings, built to last years. Eco-lovers will be happy to hear that ninety-five percent of the Arti chair can be easily recycled into other products (try telling us that's not futuristic!) Office furniture aficionados won't be surprised to learn that this chair was designed by the world-renowned Zooey Chu. Available in a multitude of stylish color choices, this chair is a steal at its affordable price!

RFM Carmel

As strange as this chair looks, it certainly put's forth RFM's commitment to ergonomics first! The Carmel Ergonomic Chair by RFM uses a highly sophisticated professional design that encourages a "shoulders back" posture. Because the human body is actually much better suited to standing, a slouching posture while sitting puts a lot of stress on the spine, which is usually what causes back pain in most people. The shoulders back posture forced by the Carmel chair automatically improves posture, encouraging users to sit properly, thus relieving back pain. As if that weren't enough, the chair also incorporates a special thoracic ridge to further reduce stress and is available in RFM's vast array of signature color options. The skinny back provides tons of freedom of motion, making it perfect for users that are constantly swiveling around their desk space answering phones, jostling papers, and staying active. Like the Arti, this chair features a strange design that is most assuredly the way of the future. At its current affordable price, the Carmel will pay for itself in comfort in no time at all.

Via Seating Swopper Chair

You may be wondering if this next chair is even really a chair at all by the looks of the picture, but we assure you, it is actually one of the best chairs on the market for those with office aches. The Via Seating special edition Swopper Chair is actually an award winning seating solution. Designed by an osteopath to treat lower back pain, the Swopper chair boasts the highest caliber of German engineering. It subtly works to improve posture and stabilization of the spine, and forces the body to repair itself by strengthening and conditioning the back and abdominal muscles to better support the user. It improves blood flow, nourishment to the inter-vertebral discs, and assists in lymphatic flow, turning the human body into a finely tuned instrument to relieve its own pain! This futuristic, far out seating solution can be used as a stool or a chair with the addition of an optional back. It's super fun and oh so comfortable, but we'll leave it to you to decide if it looks weird or cool… or both!

Eurotech Chakra Chair

Okay. So what's up with this one? Well, for starters, it's a dream for yoga lovers. That's right! The grey and white Chakra ergonomic task chair from Eurotech Seating is ideal for "deskercising" (for those of you that don't know, that's exercising at your desk).

Those that take the opportunity to actually work out while they work often report lower stress levels, a happier outlook, and reduced pain, and the Chakra chair helps with all! Based on a highly sophisticated zoomorphic design, the Chakra chair is supposed to focus on supporting the "power centers" of the body, cushioning the chakras.

RFM Verte

Actually, the Verte Ergonomic Chair is heralded by experts as one of the most comfortable ergonomic office chairs in existence.
