There is a theory that standing while working at the computer is good for our health. There is also a theory that the opposite is true. While this great egg controversy is taking place, young French designer Jérémy Guénolé created a desk that allows to alternate the two approaches. The piece, called Postures, features different levels and encourages movement, which cannot be bad for anyone. ‘Starting from different work situations of a creative, I drew a range of hybrid furnitures that comply with the concept of wellness.’ – says the designer.
I was recommended this blog by my cousin.
I’m not sure whether this post is written by him as no one else know such detailed about my trouble. You’re incredible!
Thanks!
On average, humans “think” 45% more efficiently while standing. It’s in our nature as animals. When was the last time you saw a lion take down a gazelle while it was sitting or laying down? Didn’t think so. When I work in my home office, I stand. When I go to work, I go into a cube and sit at a desk. People I work with are on long conference calls, or just sitting for long periods of time… but some make a point of standing up, walking around, stretching, and staying standing up for a few minutes. Gets the blood flowing, hence the increased brain action, and the hunter / farmer instincts kicking in. I know the difference, and it’s true. Standing at home is better than sitting at work. ha ha. Yes, sitting is sometimes a good thing, but 80% of your day doing it? Please. Stand up and take notice.
