To launch this revolutionary chair, mono created thoughtpile.com, a visual celebration of ideas where a new question is posed every week. You're invited to pile on your own ideas, vote, and comment on other people's ideas. The idea with the most votes each week wins a free Embody chair.

The Embody Experience — an interactive site that tells the story of the chair through the ideas that went into it. You can customize your own Embody and learn more about the six-years of thinking that went into every facet of its design.

“Thoughtpile is a site that provokes conversation and innovation.”
