Work standing or work sitting.
Having this flexibility is healthy, inspiring and efficient for office workers.
No more adapting your work style to the desk, now the desk adapts to your work style.
Move the surface of the desk up or down quickly and with ease,
creating the optimum positioning for the worker when it's needed.
With full focus on freed movement, comfort and safety,
this flexible SW is a fusion of design and functionality.
The positive impacts on health, concentration and efficiency through switching
between sitting and standing when working have been proven
in studies conducted by Okamura and The Institute for Science of Labour.
We studied the comparison data on "sitting only", "standing only", and "standing and sitting" while working on a computer for 2 hours in order to see which posture gives the healthy effect, and found out that combining 1 hour of sitting with 10 to 20 mins.
of standing is effective in various ways.
Fatigue level experienced by postures
Altering between standing and sitting puts minimum fatigue on the body.
Sit/Stand work ensured the least fatigue. Changing posture periodically disperses stress on the body.
Level of swelling
Sit/Stand work helps to prevent legs from swelling.
Sit/Stand work was proven to cause least swelling in the legs, based upon calf circumference measurements taken before and after work.
Levels of drowsiness
Sit/Stand work prevents drowsiness
Concentration level and drowsiness are closely connected. Sit/Stand working and standing work have almost equal incidences of drowsiness, and both are thought to promote more concentration than continuous seated work.
Selfreported hip pain
Adding standing work improves the symptoms of lower back and hip pain.
We compared 2 hours of ‘sitting only’ work with work that included hourly 10 minute periods of standing work. Overall, the inclusion of standing work helped to reduce symptoms such as lower back pain.
*The studies made comparisons at 80-120 minutes after beginning work.
*2014 study by The Institute for Science of Labour (Research conditions- Standing work: 120 minutes working in a standing position; Sitting work: 120 minutes working while in a sitting position; Alternate sitting and standing: Cycle of approx. 20 min. standing work and approx. 40 minutes sitting work, repeated twice)
We had conducted an experiment in which workers performed task in seated position for one week and then added standing work to their normal routine in the following week. As a result, it became clear that addition of standing work leads to a better sleep quality, less physical and mental stress, and more enthusiasm at work.
Body movement during sleep
A sound sleep can be obtained without too much movement during sleep.
Level of mental and physical stress reaction
Mental and physical stress is reduced

Consider this desk for it's vertical mobility.
It is not just about ease of use.
It is also about the freedom, safety and comfort our desks offer.
We've thought of every detail with our new outlook on office space planning.
Adjustable | Up/Down Transition
Quick, quiet and flexible.
Supports workers with smooth up/down adjustability.
Starts off slowly and then speeds up.
The desk can be adjusted freely to suit a worker's needs and fixed at any desired height. When lowering, it will stop in a fixed position before slowing moving lower.
*Desk:H25 1/2-49inch(H650-1250mm)
*Table:H27 1/2-49inch(H700-1250mm)
Design | Sloped edge
The edge of the desk is rounded to reduce burden on the arms.
It maintains comfort in both sitting and standing positions.
The desk has a sloped edge that can be leaned against when standing. It is designed to reduce burden on the arms even when a worker leans on it to write or use a computer.
Safety | Reverse Feature
Immediately detects when it contacts an object while in motion.
Automatic safety devices installed in all the tables.
The up/down function stops automatically when the table comes in contact with an unknown object. A safety device is installed which returns the table to a height about an inch from where the object is detected. With an energy-saving stand-by power of 0.1 watts, it's designed to have a long life span of up to 10,000 up-down performance.
