YOUNG START UP
The ErgoLounge Story
As a child, I witnessed how much my grandfather suffered from chronic back pain, poor circulation, and posture problems. Despite his discomfort, he spent long hours working at a desk every single day. In the 80s and 90s, there were hardly any ergonomic solutions that could truly support him. My grandfather lived with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), the same condition known from physicist Stephen Hawking. While his illness progressed more slowly, he eventually depended on a wheelchair. Watching this left a deep mark on me and planted the seed for what would later become ErgoLounge.
Over time, I realized that physical well-being isn't just about posture or furniture — it's also about what supports the body from within. Stress, muscle tension, and the inability to fully relax are problems many people silently struggle with today. That's why Magnesium Glycinate became a natural addition to ErgoLounge. It represents the same idea: supporting the body gently, helping it unwind, recover, and find balance in everyday life. Everything I offer is guided by one goal — making daily life a little easier, calmer, and more comfortable.
