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.
