At the core of ergonomic design is the idea that us humans were designed to move and our office furniture should reflect this. Ergonomic designers focus on people and how they might interact with an object.
In the work place the practice of ergonomics is quite simply about making people more comfortable at work, helping to reduce the stress of repetitive movements throughout the workday.
There are lots of things to consider like the angle of your elbows compared to your keyboard, the height of your eyes in relation to your monitor and the height of your sitting or standing desk.
Take five minutes and look at your desk, your chair, the lights above your head, your location relative to natural light, your posture and your foot position.
All of these things affect the ergonomics of your workspace and each should be considered when attempting to boost your comfort.
If your office chair and desk is affecting your health, it’s time to think ergonomically.
Our products have been designed with your well-being in mind and here on our website you’ll find that comfort and good ergonomics go hand in hand with great design and stylish innovation.
We’re confident that our products are at the cutting edge of ergonomic innovation. If you’re looking to upscale your workplace with some new furniture, there are so many reasons to invest in ergonomic products.
