For people tired of all the action and looking to take a seat at SXSW, the Mogo portable stool is a great option.
Standing desks are a great way to stay relatively active while working a desk job, but it's also tiring to have to stand all day. Sure, you could place a chair near your standing desk but that means you have to crane your neck up to see your computer monitor when you're sitting down.
The Mogo portable seat at SXSW is essentially a seat on top of a ball, and is designed for people who use standing desks but want to lean back every once in a while. The stool allows you to take 30% of the weight off your feet without having to completely sit down.
This simple piece of furniture is the kind of thing that could revolutionize our behavior in the workplace, as we move towards healthier alternatives to sitting on our rear ends all day.
