The Max Chair was designed by Tom Wates, a teacher in London, to prevent students from leaning back in their chairs during class. The Max Chair is designed so that it cannot tilt onto its back legs. Wates came up with the idea for the Max Chair after getting frustrated with trying to yell at unruly students who leaned back in their chairs. The Max Chair aims to change chairs by designing them in a way that does not allow leaning back.

DON'T LEAN BACK (DLB)
16. Max Chair
Design: Tom Wates
Price: Approx. $25
Instead of yelling at unruly students who were leaning back in their chairs during class, Tom
Wates, a physical education and math teacher in London, went to the drawing board to find a
way to change the chairs themselves. The result is the Max Chair, a seat that cannot be tilted
onto its back legs.
