Recently, a lot of research has gone into the state in which most people work, mainly when it comes to desk jobs, and as a result designs such as the Stir Kinetic Desk have been born. Taking the standing desk to the next level, the Stir Kinetic Desk monitors people's work habits in order to help them work smarter and healthier.
Designed by veterans from Apple, Ideo, NASA and Disney, the Stir Kinetic Desk is outfitted with an easy-to-use touchscreen that controls more than its sitting and standing heights. It not only breaks down the ratio of sitting and standing, it also tracks how much calories are being burned. There are also a variety of modes to encourage more movement, deep breaths and other similar good habits.
