Wanless on the 'Lean Back'\u003cbr/\u003eCorporate meetings could look very different in the future, with a new piece of furniture set to change the way we do business. \u003cbr/\u003eChallenging the traditional office chair, a new Swedish design called the 'Lean Back' encourages users to hold meetings while standing in a leaning position. \u003cbr/\u003eThe designers at Kinnarps say leaning has the same benefits from standing up while giving the user a rest. \u003cbr/\u003eThe 'Lean Back' has recently gone on show at London's British Library where it is on display amongst other furniture designed for the future workplace. \u003cbr/\u003eThe exhibition, which is on until March 11, asked designers to come up with furniture that would best fit into the library's new wireless areas for the public. \u003cbr/\u003eIt's been a regular sight inside London's British Library for some time. \u003cbr/\u003eHarry Wanless, reading his newspaper during his daily lunch break, and always while he leans. \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"I prefer to lean than sit, you don't have to use so much energy as sitting down.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Harry Wanless, Library User\u003cbr/\u003eBut Harry knows times are ever-changing. \u003cbr/\u003eHe will always lean, but now on this. \u003cbr/\u003eIt's called the Lean Back and it's specially designed for just that. \u003cbr/\u003eIt's part of an exhibition at the British library which aims to test furniture design for the future workplace.  \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English) \u003cbr/\u003e\"It's a lot more comfortable, a lot softer and generally more relaxing.\" \u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Harry Wanless, Library User: \u003cbr/\u003eOf all the ten furniture designs on show, the Lean Back's attracted a lot of attention. \u003cbr/\u003eWith plenty of volunteers willing to test them out, the library's asked for feedback -  to decide which furniture should stay.  \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English) \u003cbr/\u003e\"You'd have to lean all the back to help your back and there's no way you'd have a conversation like this cause you'd feel you're in the dentist. It'd be nice if it had a little thing to rest your bum on like in choir stalls they used to have and that would take the pressure off the legs a bit, easier to stand.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: (left) Neil Shaw (right) Nick Grindle, Library users\u003cbr/\u003eSo far, Harry loves it and these two say they're not so keen - even though they managed to have a rather lengthy conversation using them. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Lean Back's swedish designers say, you just need to know how to use it. \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"It's not intended to replace the chair or any piece of furniture but it's a different way of, instead of leaning against a pillow or a wall when you have an impromptu meeting for example.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Jenny Cargill-Ek, Kinnarps\u003cbr/\u003ePractical maybe, but is it safe? Here's what one ergonomics expert thinks.   \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English) \u003cbr/\u003e\"Standing is actually very good for us but standing still is quite tiring. What we have is something designed to help us stand and give us a little bit of back support so it takes a little bit of our weight. When we stand on this platform which is sloped, we lean naturally back so it's non slip, and we stand on it and lean against the surface and get good back support all the way up so ideal for meetings, discussions, wouldn't be ideal for lap top because you have to lean forward, but for short breaks, taking a bit of body weight off the back, it's absolutely ideal.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Tom Stewart, System Concepts\u003cbr/\u003eThe Lean Back was among ten different designs commissioned by the library for the exhibition.\u003cbr/\u003eThey asked for furniture that could be integrated into its new wireless working environment - which has proven to be a huge hit. \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English) \u003cbr/\u003e\"I do need to connect with my university on a daily basis, so to be able to use this facility which is wireless connection before I go into library where I have no communication with anybody, is perfect.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Sue Wilson, Library user\u003cbr/\u003eHowever one visiting designer wasn't so impressed. \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English) \u003cbr/\u003e\"These seats for example are not wide enough, the back here I can feel wood in it when I lean against it. The little seats you see over there, the tall seats, aren't seats, they're bookshelves.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Frank Lauder, Visiting designer\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English) \u003cbr/\u003e\"I think it's really good, I think it's a really good use of space and I think it's a shame its only a temporary exhibition because people really seem to make use of them.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Vox Pop, Library user:\u003cbr/\u003eWith more 16-thousand people visiting the British library every day, there's bound to be even more debate.\u003cbr/\u003eBut not from Harry - he's knows his favourite.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English) \u003cbr/\u003e\"We should have these in every bus stop and train station. \"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Harry Wanless,
