Transforming the home office with accessible workplace furniture

[Sponsored Article]

While the office we once knew is undergoing a considerable transformation, office-furniture specialist Steelcase remains committed to providing the tools necessary for us to reach our full potential—wherever work happens. 

It wasn’t so long ago that “office work” meant waking up early, commuting to a place of business and sitting for hours on end at a desk provided by our employer. These days, of course, it often means rolling out of bed and into the next room where we’ve hacked together some sort of home-office set-up. 

While our physical surroundings may have changed dramatically, the need to be present, productive and engaged in our work is as important as ever. Having the right equipment allows us to not only perform at our highest level but also safeguard our health and prevent injury. And among the most essential pieces of equipment are the office chair and desk.

A good office chair fits its user’s unique posture, supporting the natural contour of the back and maintaining healthy alignment of the spine. It’s also made to move as you move, even opening up the hip angle as you recline and helping you change postures while you sit. The arms of the chair, meanwhile, stay parallel to the floor so that the user’s arms are straight on the desk and eyes level with the screen.
