據英國《每日郵報》報導, 站立式辦公桌在美國矽谷已經比較常見,對願意站立式工作的人健康有益。
不過,由於站立式辦公桌價格昂貴,到目前為止並未廣泛流行。
宜家近日推出了一款名為BEKANT的可調節的站立式辦公桌,使用者只需按一下按鈕便可將其從普通高度調節至站立式高度。宜家希望這款辦公桌佔領市場,成為主流。
專家稱,與長時間坐著工作相比,站立式工作更能提高員工的工作效率。
Standing desks have become commonplace across Silicon Valley, offering health benefits to those willing to work on their feet.
However, due to their high price, they have failed to catch on - until now.
Ikea has revealed a 'convertible' desk that transforms from a standard desk to a standing one at the touch of a button, and hopes it could make the standing desk mainstream.
Experts say that changing from a seated to a standing desk can improve productivity.
Similar desks have become a common sight at tech firms such as Google, where some employees have even installed treadmill and bicycle desks.
The desk is not the first 'convertible' on the market.
The $3,890 Stir Kinect desk has a motor to raise and lower itself, converting it into a standing desk or a traditional desk.
The desk can even be programmed to move up and down slightly, at the exact speed of a resting human heartbeat, making it to appear to take a gentle breath to remind the user to change their position.
To move between sitting, pictured, and standing positions, owners simply double-tap on the screen. The desk can learn user's preferences over time and suggest the best seating position
The Stir Kinect desk was created by a team of ex-Apple and Disney engineers.
It has a built-in touchscreen to control and track movement, and can tell users exactly how many calories they burn by standing for part of their working day.
