Statement#

It is asked to design a new table for offices that allows alternate sitting and stand up work. There are a lot of people who must work on sitting position the full day. The possibility to alternate positions during working time could drive to an improvement in health and productivity. The current tables that allow combining positions in work have limited surface, not enough for design, architecture and engineering needs.
