OUR STORY · ATLANTA GA
Our Purpose & Origin

Rolling chair wheels shouldn’t be a hazard.

Every office chair has five casters. Every caster is a pinch point waiting for a cat tail, a charging cable, or a bare foot at midnight.

Orbit Atlanta Studio
Atlanta Studio & Engineering Lab
2023
Founded in Atlanta, Georgia

Inspired by a curious cat named Edison.

When our founder’s cat, Edison, had a scary close call with a rolling office chair wheel, we searched everywhere for a solution. Standard rubber casters don’t stop pinches, and rug mats don’t protect toes or cables.

We spent over a year 3D-printing, testing, and refining custom TPU bumper shapes right here in Atlanta. Orbit Guard sits between the floor and the wheel housing, pushing obstacles out of the way before they get trapped under the caster.
