Quality naps during the daytime.
RESEARCH & IDENTIFY PROBLEM SPACE
Sleep pods consume too much space and money.
Sleep in front of the desk causes potential health issues.
Taking a nap during lunch break has been proven to increase working productivity. Some companies may spend a lot of money on some sleep pods. However, these pods consume too much space.
Another way is to sleep in front of the desk. But, in this posture, the neck is under great pressure with potential health risks. The arms are also oppressed, and the circulation is blocked.
Cat Nap is an office chair that can provide people quality naps during break time with less space and money consumed.
GOAL
Provide people quality naps with less space and money consumed.
METHODS
Observation, Human-Centered Design, User Research, Ergonomics, Emotional Design
Build the ergonomic model.
Sleeping in front of the desk takes little space. The problem is how to improve the sleeping quality and prevent possible health issues.
Ergonomics became crucial in this case. By studying the common postures of people, an ergonomic model is built for sitting backwards and lying on chairs. This model can reduce the stress on people's neck under the posture.
Ergonomic for laying back.
Support the head.
Avoid health issues.

Emotion matters.
However, the resultant model was not good enough. The look of the chair may also affect people. Applying emotional design, a cat-like headrest takes shape, and all constraints are carefully matched to create a comfortable chair with a cuddling look.
The ear-shape structure supports your cheek. The gap between the ears can support the chin and reduce the pressure on your neck. This design can enhance sleep quality and avoid spinal health issues.
Adorable look.
