Studies have shown that workers are generally healthier, happier, and more productive when they are able to stand while working. Summarizing these studies, the independent website Authority Nutrition has identified seven major benefits of standing desks including reduced back pain, lower blood sugar levels, and a decreased risk of heart disease. Authority Nutrition also noted that standing workers burn an extra 1000 calories on a week basis and that standing while working has been linked to living a longer life in general.
For those with an eye toward esthetic and structural design, however, standing desks have left much to be desired. To answer this problem, the minimalist office and home office product manufacturer Artifox recently released the latest version of its striking and functional standing desk, the Standing Desk 02.
In addition to its sleek and refined design, the Artifox Standing Desk incorporates convenient structural features such as built-in docking for digital devices, a cable grid for effective wire management, and pegs that are ideal for storing items such as purses and headset earphones for easy access. It is also designed to last with a scratch resistant powder coated top and frame of solid hardwood maple and steel. To accommodate workers who want the option to sit, the Artifox Standing Desk pairs perfectly with a counter-height stool that allows for easily transition between the standing and sitting positions.
