See and be seen

The write stuff

A quality stylus is a must for frequent iPad users. Whether you’re jotting down notes, sketching or drawing, the Wacom Bamboo Sketch performs impressively similar to a pencil or pen on paper. The two included pen nibs (soft and firm) are pressure-sensitive, the battery lasts up to 15 hours on one charge, and the ergonomic design makes the Sketch comfortable to hold in your hand. The protective carrying case is a convenient bonus. $50, wacom.com.

It’s electric

Available in two sizes. $80, itens.com.

Ride the wave

It’s a known fact that if you’re too hot or too cold, your productivity levels will wane because you’re too uncomfortable to concentrate. Maintain the perfect temperature with the Embr Wave Bracelet, a wearable personal thermostat. Surprisingly, the attractive bracelet does nothing to affect your core body temperature. Instead, it affects your perception of temperature. At the press of a button, the Embr Wave directly cools or warms the temperature-sensitive area of your wrist, in waves of sensations. That’s all it takes to trick your brain and make you feel better overall. $300, embrlabs.com.

Take a seat

The anti-burst PVC ball you may know from the gym gets a luxe makeover in the Vivora Luno Sitting Ball Chair. Tightly covered in felt, chenille, suede or premium leatherette, the Luno looks great, is lightweight (only 4 pounds!) and durable, and is a great alternative to a traditional office chair. It promotes good posture and relieves back pain by engaging your abdominal and leg muscles as you balance. $60+, vivora.net.

If you find yourself readjusting the way you sit often throughout the day, you may be more of a fidgeter than a balancer. Or maybe you prefer cross-leg sitting? Find the most comfortable position for you and turn heads at the office with the unconventional looking Soul Seat chair. Its bamboo legs are stationary, providing a sturdy base for the adjustable seat and platform, and allowing you to seamlessly switch between multiple seating positions while strengthening your core and easing back pain. $1,325, mysoulseat.com.
