Who invented the office chair with wheels?
1 Answer
It is generally accepted that Thomas E. Warren invented the office chair. Although sketches dating back to the early 16th century of a rolling chair on wheels have been located, Warren was the one to unveil the first-ever commercially successful rolling chair. Called the Centripetal Spring Armchair, the piece debuted at the 1851 Great Exhibition in London. The American Chair Company in Troy, New York, manufactured the chair.
