June Ekman and Larry Wilson
June Ekman, a former dancer and
choreographer is a certified practitioner of
the Alexander Technique. She has been a
Master Teacher in New York City for over 25
years. Working with her students at Sarah
Lawrence College, professional dancers,
actors and singers and many clients whose
occupations dictate they sit for extended
periods of time, Ms. Ekman became convinced
that many chronic problems were aggravated
by inadequate chairs. She also noticed that
when these clients sat on the large vinyl
ball she used in her body alignment work,
much of the stress placed on the back was
alleviated. Ms. Ekman, in association with
designer Laurence Wilson, developed the
Sit-A-Round, based on the principles of
active sitting.Larry Wilson is a
designer and builder who resides and works
in Pennsylvania. As the first Director of
the nonprofit Energy Conservation Service,
he was charged with disseminating
information about energy conservation and
alternative power sources to communities,
school districts and government bodies in
six counties in northeastern Pennsylvania.
Founder and president of the Practical
Energy Company, he has designed and built
energy efficient/solar buildings using
ecologically acceptable materials. He was
influenced by the ideas of Buckminster
Fuller and has experimented with and
perfected the building of geodesic dome
structures. Familiar with the Alexander
Technique and interested in ergonomic
furniture for the work place and home, he
took on the project of designing the
Sit-A-Round with June Ekman. Working in
close collaboration, the Sit-A-Round design
evolved over the course of several years.
Mr. Wilson studied at Alfred University and
received a BFA from Nova Scotia College of
Art and Design.
