Although wheeled office chairs were already in existence, they were not as comfy or ergonomic as what we have today. So Darwin did something daring with his opulent couch. The man was a well-known workaholic, and when he wasn't gathering or devouring specimens, he was researching them and taking notes. He discovered that in his study or lab area, he would have to move around the workplace from bench to bench, desk to desk. So, in order to increase his productivity and save crucial study time, he decided to add wheels to his beautiful recliner.
