The muvman active seat for standing/sitting is a twofold winner:

In 2012 the Muvman active seat for standing/sitting adds two more prestigious design awards. Both the design experts on the universal design jury and the consumer jury chose the active seat for standing/sitting as their favourite.
The Universal Design award is given to products whose design is so flexible that it can be used by people of different capacities in different situations without any need for additional technical accessories or adaptations. The Universal Design therefore goes way beyond the purely aesthetic demands of many other design awards. The assessment criteria include:
a.the wide range and flexibility of utilization,
b.simple and intuitive handling,
c.safety and fault tolerance,
d.interculturality and economic efficiency.
Judgement of the entries submitted is made by both a jury of experts and a jury of consumers, which is one of the prominent features of the Universal Design award.
