There has and still is a focus on making people’s working space flexible, enabling agile working practices to be carried out much more efficiently.
Ergonomics focused on a desk rather than the chair has also become a priority when considering employees wellbeing.
Should this differ when people are working from home?
Leading global researcher Leeseman found that across 50,000 employees studied, only 34% of people had a designated work area in their home, and only 38% of people had space for a home office.
As stated above the issue most people have is space in their home and not wanting their home to resemble an office.
These were the considerations Consider 64 looked at when designing the Dining Desk.
Consider 64 are a family run London based commercial furniture consultancy. Ergonomics is at the heart of everything Consider 64 do. With the fundamental shift in how we work, Consider 64 wanted to demonstrate how a flexible, ergonomic environment can be achieved not only in the office but also at home.
Darren Andrews, Partner at Consider 64 stated that ‘the Dining Desk has been designed so that anyone can gain the health benefits of an ergonomic workstation at home, without compromising on looks or space’.
The Dining Desk is the perfect product to blend a creative and stimulating work environment with the comforts of home, creating the ideal solution to promote a healthy work-life balance.
LINAK® Electric Desk lift Columns are used in the sit-stand version of the Dining Desk to provide instant, and easy to use electric sit-stand capabilities.
The DPG control enables the user to adjust the height of the desk, whilst providing an integrated reminder function.
Darren Andrews highlighted why as a company they decided to work with LINAK. ‘Through our combined experience in the furniture industry, Consider64 have regularly worked with LINAK products, both through specification and manufacturing. LINAK actuators have always been a market leaders, combined with their fast and helpful customer service they have proved themselves to be incredibly trustworthy, reliable and flexible in an ever changing world.’
The user can also link a phone app which help to keep track of your daily results to ensure you receive the ergonomic benefits at home.
‘The height adjustability feature is simplistic in its movement and the desk can be raised and lowered in height, using a simple button; which goes from sitting to standing height within seconds’, as outlined by Suki Assee.
Consider 64 work closely with independent Ergonomist Suki Assee, Suki has reviewed the Dining Desk. A full copy of review is available here.
The conclusion to the review from Suki is that, ‘the Dining Desk features are unique in adaptability and performance. The stunning design including its features are a winning scenario for those practical but design conscious workers. The Dining Desk is a great example of a design piece that is both ergonomic and beautiful’.
