So why can’t that same dedication be applied to our workspaces? So that we look forward to going into work, arriving at a workstation that oozes style, sophistication and above all, comfort. Well if you follow our advice, you can.

Sit-stand desks

As the name suggests, a desk that switches between standing and sitting means that you can be active without staying on your feet all day – too much standing could cause leg and foot swelling. Our self-confessed style guru’s recommend that you wear comfy shoes with a low or flat heel and lots of arch support whilst standing on a cushioned mat.

Flexible seating

We’ve all had it, eyestrain and acute back pain at some point or another, often caused by an archaic desk or an office chair that’s reminiscent of something found in the terraces of a football stadium. The key to comfort and increased productivity is a chair that easily glides up and down, so you can position your gaze in relation to your monitor and contours to your back, improving your overall posture.

But what’s wrong with plonking the monitor on a stack of books I hear you cry? Well in short, just about everything… not only does it look horrendous, but your workforce won’t thank you for it. Come to think of it, neither will your superiors. You see, a good monitor arm can remove a lot of pain from the daily grind, allowing your colleagues to focus on getting things done rather than on how bad they feel.

So how can you spot a good monitor arm? Where does it fit into your workspace?

Ideally, your monitor should be an arm’s length away from you and be at a height where you can sit up and keep your neck in a neutral position. A monitor arm not only allows you to control the distance between your monitor and your keyboard, but it also allows adjustment throughout the day as you move your body.

Whilst the physical benefits are undeniable, there is a strong aesthetic argument to be made too. A monitor arm frees up valuable space on a desk which is proven to help productivity… also, the sight of a beautiful super-slim monitor “floating” above the desk is something very pleasing to the eye! The Libero from Metalicon blends sleek, clean lines and an elegant form with a reassuringly robust approach to office ergonomics. What’s more, with a box-to-assembly time of under a minute, it’s easy to see why the Libero is becoming the arm of choice.
