PACK MATTHEWS: Pianist, Composer, and "Soul Seat" Inventor

COLUMBIA, 7/23/09 (Beat Byte) -- Combining charity with entrepreneurship, well-known local musician Pack Matthews, who is also a yoga instructor, has invented and is manufacturing what one physician calls "The Perfect Chair."

The Soul Seat, as Matthews named it, is an ergonomically-designed chair "that's not only functional. It’s beautiful. The base pushes the limits of design with its symmetrical curve patterned after the Navajo bear found throughout Native American art," sales literature reads.

 

Donating a portion of his profits to Personal Energy Transportation International, which makes vehicles for individuals with disabilities in poor and underdeveloped countries, Matthews will have the seats on display at these upcoming locations:

 

Artrageous Friday in Columbia, Missouri, Friday, July 24, 2009 from 6 to 9 p.m. at Orr Street Studio

 

Boone County Fair, July 20-25, 2009, Columbia, Missouri

 

First Friday Art Walk, Fairfield, Iowa, August 7, 2009

  I'm sitting on the Soul Seat at my office right now and feel very energized, especially for a Friday. I'll be demonstrating the seat tonight at Orr Street studio from 6 to 9 as part of Artrageous Friday. Come try it out!
