If you spend a lot of your life sitting at your desk working on long creative projects, you already know the problem with most office chairs: they're built for sitting extensively in one position. But even when sitting at a desk, most people don’t simply sit in one way all day long. People move around through the day depending on the task at hand, energy level or even mood. For creatives, that can be even truer, especially if you’re multi-disciplined or working across digital and physical mediums.
All this means that when you move, most chairs will sit rigid beneath you, effectively undoing all the good a truly ergonomic chair is meant to do. The Boulies EP600 is designed to solve this problem. It allows flexibility of movement throughout the day, so the chair you’re sitting in won’t become a barrier to your creative flow and you won’t be left with an uncomfortable, niggling body later on.
Here are 5 ways the Bouilles EP600 actually supports your moving body.
01. Flexible settings for how you sit
Usually, the features for an ergonomic chair consists of a standard checklist: lumbar support, adjustable arms, a recline function. But, as mentioned before, anyone doing long, creative days at a desk, that isn’t good enough. A chair that's perfectly set up for typing at 10am can feel wrong by 3pm, when your task has changed, or when you’ve leaned back to think, or you’re hunched forward over a tricky bit of code. The EP600's whole design brief is built around that shift: instead of locking you into one "correct" posture, it's engineered to move with you through the positions you sit in through the day.
02. It has adaptive lumbar support that follows your spine
The EP600's most important feature is its 4D Adaptive Lumbar System. A standard fixed lumbar pad stays put regardless of how you're sitting, but this one moves naturally with your body as your posture changes. It’s also adjustable for both height and support angle so it can be tuned to your specific shape rather than an average one. If you want more consistency, you can lock it in place. If you want it to track you through the day, you can leave it on the adaptive setting. Whichever you choose, it's helping to give continuous support for your lower back, not a one-size-fits-all pad you have to sit ‘correctly’ against.
03. Armrests that don’t get in the way
The second hero feature, Boulies' 6D armrests, are built for people who don't work with their arms in one fixed position all day – ideal for artists and designers using sketch pads or tablets alongside their computers. They rotate a full 360°, adjust for height, depth and angle, and flip up entirely when you need the desk space or want to move freely. This is useful if you're switching between a keyboard, a drawing surface or an instrument in the same session. This may seem like a small thing, but for anyone who's ever caught an elbow on a rigid armrest mid-task, or hasn’t been able to get the arm rests in quite the right positions, it will make a big difference.
04. Built for different bodies, not just different tasks
Obviously, creative people don’t have a standard body type,which can be difficult when picking an office chair. But the EP600 doesn’t assume you have a certain body type. It has 70mm of backrest height adjustment for different torso lengths, 50mm of seat depth adjustment for different leg lengths and an adjustable headrest you can move for different heights and angles. The recline goes up (or down!) to 120° and, there’s an integrated retractable footrest for when you tip backwards. Boulies designed the chair to fit users roughly 5'5" to 6'3", which covers a sufficiently wide range of the people likely to be sitting in it.
It can be used in different ways
Bouilles has also considered the fact that many people (especially creatives) will be working from a home studio, spare room or shared space. Because of these use cases, the EP600 is aesthetically designed to work as a desk chair or gaming or creative setup.
