I have a little twist to the usual “what office chair do you recommend?” question. I’m in a studio and don’t like how typical office chairs look. Has anyone found a comfortable (bonus points: ergonomic) chair that fits in with a more mid century design and/or could double as a dining room chair?

Depending on your price range check Design Beyond Reason…. I mean “Design Within Reach”. It’s all mid century designs that range from around $600+

Piggybacking off of this. DWR is having a 15% off sale now. I have shopped with them quite a bit and it’s been great.

A good chair that I would recommend is the Herman Miller Eames Molded Plastic Armchair. They come in lots of finishes/padding/non-padded options.

Wayfair has some cool midmod office chairs, if you’re not concerned about getting a high-end ergo design. I got a hbada and they have some decent designs, though still a little on the office-y side.

In 2021, lost a ton of talented consultants to Meta with many receiving crazy good total comp. With the stock dropping and tech layoffs, do you think some will return to consulting? If they return, do you think they will come asking for the tech-level total comp they may have had as if they are possibly worth more given they worked in tech? Or would they be “back to (present) reality”?
