At the Indianapolis Museum of Art, we recently ordered HAG Capisco
saddle chairs.  They offer multiple seating positions  one can sit
forward, sideways, or adjust a tilt mechanism on the chair back to
sit backwards and lean over a work surface.  They do not have arm
rests, but the "t shape" of the chair back gives you an optional arm
rest if sitting sideways.  They have the five casters and are
available in two heights.   A simple internet search will provide
you with more manufacturer information and current merchants for the
chairs.
