Ergotopia is a German brand for office furniture, chairs in particular. Their desks look awesome as well.
They try to produce locally (germany) whenever feasible, a little more on that in their FAQ.
I use their electric standing desk, a Desktopia Pro model. Itโs really good. Initially, I had to get several returns and re-deliveries of the bamboo desktop, as they never managed to deliver wood that was free from scratches or machine damage. They acted very well during the process and in the end I got a perfect product.
I also got one of their Ergohuman Plus chairs (not sold any more, as it seems). Itโs very good quality, but the head rest is too far to the front if you have an erect spine. You can see the same in product pictures of their current chairs. I canโt really rest back my head (especially in reclined position) as the headrest keeps me in a rounded, hunched position. Note that this might not be the same for other people - I have a lot of ballet training and used to be a professional dancer. The chair might be perfect for โnormalโ, slightly hunched people.
I also got one of their chairs some years ago when my DX Racer started losing its outer layer and I didnโt feel well seated anymore. I liked it so much that I decided to buy one of their electric tables, too, when I moved to a new home with a bigger office. All with cable trays and holes in the desk for feedthrough. And I also really like it.
I bought one of these a few years ago, still works, still comfy to sit on a whole day. It was worth it.
