BEWARE: TAKE CARE
Remember the EU directive 90/270?
The workplace must be furnished in an ergonomically responsible way. This is the employer’s duty of care — to all their office and home workers. If you work alone, then you owe it to yourself, you deserve it! That’s why Neyt is launching a sitting-standing desk: the budget-friendly alternative for individuals and the contract market.
Scandinavia leads the way in ergonomic seating & working. That is where active sitting was invented: the archetype, the Balance concept, dates back to the seventies. The sitting-standing desk was widely deployed there in the late 1990s. The rest of Europe followed and is following. Who knows what is still to come? If the ‘normal’ height-adjustable desk is already mandated here and there? How will things evolve with the electric sitting-standing desk?
The fact is: human beings are not naturally made to sit still. This is something that has been learned. It’s actually pretty weird: the spontaneous, restless sitting positions of a child are corrected, unlearned. ‘Don’t rock, don’t kneel, now sit still.’ Is this a good thing? Do you believe in it yourself? Sitting still is so very outdated — particularly at your desk. No more being glued to your desk, doing non-stop screen-based work: move — wherever & however you can, is the message! If you don’t know that by now, then you must be from a different planet.
For offices ‘working with movment’ is becoming the norm. Ergonomic solutions are dynamic. You see this with office chairs; you see this with the sitting-standing desk. But the sad truth is, who can afford these things? That’s why Neyt is presenting a budget-friendly alternative: the Flexo range with tip-touch system. On the control panel are four memory keys. Ideal for yourself, to switch between your perfect sitting and standing position. And absolutely brilliant for hot desking offices: colleagues change work stations and simply adjust the sitting/standing height – easy-peasy. Perhaps the best thing of all is that the system operates rapidly and silently.
The tabletop is continuously adjustable from 73 to 123 cm, and available in three sizes (150, 180 and 200 cm). And the great advantage is that the quality has been upgraded. With Flexo, Neyt finally has a range that is suitable for both the retail and the contract market.
