As someone who spends most of her time in front of screens, I need to consciously force myself to move around during the day. Whether it’s to walk around the room, go up and down the stairs, or simply just to stand up, we need to break the monotony of sitting down for our physical and mental health. There are several tools available out there like standing desks, computer risers, and modular tables that can help you not just be a desk potato the whole day.
Designer: Herman Miller
There are also height-adjustable desks that can be adjusted to an actual desk or converted to a standing desk, whichever you need at the moment. Most of them though are more functional than aesthetic, taking function over form. The Spout Sit-to-Stand Table from Herman Miller is designed to take both into consideration. It allows you to customize it according to your needs and preferences and is versatile enough in both size and configuration so you can use it in your office with cubicles or those with open floor plans to your own personal space or in collaborative meeting spaces. The sleek design gives you a beautiful but minimalist desk so you don’t need to give up form over function.
Instead of having a desk with two columns and a powerful but sometimes visible cable system, the Spout desk has for legs with the wires hiding underneath the surface. This means you get less visual noise but still a higher lift capacity. When you’re transforming it to a sitting or standing desk, you won’t hear a thing supposedly so you get a seamless and noiseless experience. It has a height of anything between 27-46 inches, a width between 42-84 inches, and a depth of 24-48 inches. There are also several materials to choose from, whether it’s finishes, laminates, veneers, and textiles. You can also add other features like bag hooks, magnetic cable clips, storage drawers, and in-surface or surface-attached power solutions.
Having a sit-to-stand desk will make it easier for you to change your postures at different times all through out the day. It’s of course healthier to have different movements instead of just staying put in your chair. Spout gives you a lot of options for customization and also adding features to make it an even more functional desk. They also have a commitment when it comes to using sustainable materials, having an eco-friendly manufacturing process, and also making the product recyclable when it reaches the end of life.
