What if recovery could happen in 10–20 minutes, anywhere, without any external input or instruction?
– Mirjana Prokic, founder and CEO, hangAIR Global |
Orca, described as "the world's first forward-tilt incliner" for 'intelligent recovery' is designed to deliver up to 3 hours' worth of conventional rest in a fraction of the time.
Unlike traditional reclining solutions, Orca shifts recovery to the prone-forward posture.
It's been manufactured by hangAir Global, which says the motion is inspired by NASA’s zero-gravity and Alexander Technique insights – a position where the body naturally lifts its own weight off the diaphragm and lungs, allowing breath to return without effort.
It adjusts at the hips, pellicle frame and headrest for comfort, takes cues from nature to incorporate a nurturing rocking motion and also delivers psychoacoustic soundscapes designed by Tom Middleton of White Mirror.
In addition, Orca can connect with existing wearables to monitor statistics before, during and after use, while its app can track sessions and make personalised suggestions.
HangAir founder and CEO, Mirjana Prokic, was inspired to create Orca after years of stress as a global executive.
"I hit burnout and that's where the journey began," she says, "a simple question drove seven years of science, design and innovation – what if recovery could happen in 10–20 minutes, anywhere, without any external input or instruction?”
