Heightened demand for multifunctional devices help to soothe this woe while still maintaining efficiency levels amid overworked consumers.

3. Active Sitting Solutions - As research reveals the negative impacts of sitting all day, furniture solutions that promote active sitting are becoming increasingly popular.
Industry Implications
