Prolonged sitting at the computer has become a daily routine. We work, communicate, and entertain ourselves at the computer… However, the consequences it leaves on health are not negligible, especially when it comes to the spine, which is the first to be affected.
So far, we have seen various solutions that address this issue more or less successfully, primarily various ergonomic chairs, but the new Altwork Station approaches this problem from scratch and in a completely radical way. This system is designed for computer use in a way that suits you best, so it can be set not only in the standard sitting position but also in a reclining or semi-reclining position. Moreover, it can also be used while standing upright behind it. The level of flexibility is such that practically little can compare to this station – whatever position suits you best at any given moment, the Altwork Station can be adjusted to it.
The system comes with a standard VESA mount to which practically any LCD monitor can be connected, and it is possible to connect multiple monitors as long as their weight does not exceed about 15 kilograms. The total weight of the station with an average monitor and laptop is around an impressive 113 kilograms. To ensure that every keyboard can be used even at unusual angles, special magnetic holders are provided to keep it secured to the work surface. The pre-sale price is $3,900, and when it hits the market next year, it will be $5,900. Expensive, but worth its weight in gold for the spine if you can afford such a system.
