A portable desk 100% made of cardboard. Spend many hours a day sitting at the desk it's not good for your health at all and could be as harmful as smoking, according to experts. Who works in office or in any case at his desk he spends 8 hours or more sitting each day. A real attack on blood circulation.
Perhaps being able to alternate your working position, sitting and then standing for some time to type on the computer, could help. There Sedentary life it is one of the evils of our time. Certainly man was not born to spend whole days almost motionless, in an often incorrect position. So, ideas are coming from all over the world to design desks from which to work while standing. Standing or sitting for too long is never good: better to alternate.
The last example is called Standing Desk and comes from New Zealand. It is a folding desk, in 100% recyclable cardboard. It is very resistant, can be disassembled and reassembled in an instant and closes like a briefcase. Given that rather low selling costs are expected, not only companies and offices, but also freelancers and who works from home you can think of this alternative, to be used every day or only when needed.
The points in favor of this special desk are not only given by the possibility of standing, but also by the lightness and the little space it occupies both when it is open and when it is closed. Also, thinking about the end of the life cycle of each object, it will be fully recyclable and in a short time, unlike other desks made of more complex materials, which risk accumulating in landfills and remaining unused, taking up a lot of space, for years.
With this folding desk it will be very easy to create a workspace that did not exist a few minutes before, both at home and in the office. Combining multiple desks of this type makes teamwork easier, according to whoever designed it. The first Standing Desk desks will be sold in the US, New Zealand and the rest of the world thanks to the money raised with a project crowdfunding dedicated, but the idea is to make them and spread them everywhere to reduce shipping costs.
