Introducing the Waaban Chair
North America’s first Indigenous-themed, Canadian-made ergonomic office chair.
Built for comfort. Designed with impact. Created to bring Indigenous representation into the spaces where leadership, influence, and innovation take place.
Our Story
The Waaban Chair began with a simple but important question: What does Indigenous representation look like in the spaces where decisions are made?
That question brought eSupply Canada and ergoCentric together in a first-of-its-kind collaboration — blending cultural expression with ergonomic innovation to create something both functional and deeply symbolic.
At its heart is the work of Mi’gmaq artist Tracey Metallic, whose design transforms the Waaban Chair from a piece of office furniture into an expression of identity. Her artwork carries teachings, stories, and the enduring strength of Indigenous culture.
Designed and built entirely in Canada, the Waaban Chair is more than office furniture — it’s a tangible expression of reconciliation.
Your Impact
Each Waaban Chair sold helps shape the next generation of Indigenous leaders. $20 from every chair is donated to Indspire, a national Indigenous-led charity that supports post-secondary education for First Nations, Inuit, and Métis students.
By choosing Waaban, you advance Indigenous procurement, support Indigenous entrepreneurship, showcase Indigenous artistry, and invest in Canadian manufacturing. Every chair sparks conversation, strengthens relationships, drives measurable social impact, and brings Indigenous visibility into the spaces where leadership happens.
