New York head-quartered Humanscale, the leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance workplace ergonomic products, proudly introduces India’s first-of-its-kind new collection of Ergonomic Furnitureideal for Short Duration Work at the workplace (Home or Office), a lab or an industrial setting.This is yet another initiative by Humanscale in its ongoing mission to build an ‘Ergonomic’ India.
This new collection is a cohesive pair of furniture solutions that work together to transform ergonomically neglected workspacesinto a comfortable, productive environment. The Active PonyStoolandthe Float MiniSit/Stand desk integrate seamlessly to create workspaces that support a wide range of activities and work styles, especially ideal for short duration computer work even in the most compact spaces. These products are designed to function beautifully on their own while also complementing one another, providing ergonomic support across every touchpoint.
Humanscale’s new collection (The Active Pony Stooland the Float Mini Sit/Stand desk)will be available in India through its Authorised Distribution Partner S Cube Ergonomics Private Limited (S Cube) having their Exclusive Showroom and Ergonomics Experience Centre at Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune, that caters to the All-India market.
“The new collection has been designed by NielsDiffrient, the legendary American industrial designer, also known as the father of ergonomics, whose core philosophy was thatergonomic furniture solutions should adjust to the user, not the other way around.” said Sathish Nandagopal, Founder & Director, S Cube.“Active Ponyand Float Mini are thoughtfully designed to meet this need, providing flexibility, comfort, and personalized solutions that adapt seamlessly to a wide range of workspaces.”
The Active PonyStoolbuilds upon Humanscale’s award-winning Saddle/Pony line with the addition of even more movement. The addition of a new base allows for the user to be in constant motion— offering 360-degree rotation and 7-degree tilt. Active Pony ensures sitters are constantly moving and sitting in healthy positions, which is inherent in Humanscale's design and core beliefs.
The triangular cushion encourages users to sit in a "saddle" posture, which lowers the thighs, opens up the hips and puts the spine into a healthy lordotic curve (S-Curve). The "saddle" posture also reduces pressure points for long-term comfort.
The Float Mini Sit/Stand desk is a compact sit-stand table that features a smaller, cantilevered work surface and a single-leg frame that occupies minimal floor space.The light design comes with optional casters and is easy to move so that users can embrace a variety of environments and seating positions.
Movement is essential to long-term health, especially throughout the workday. Research shows even three minutes of standing for every hour spent sitting reaps enormous benefits. Float Mini allows you to move from sitting to standing and back again, effortlessly.
The Float Mini makes use of a non-powered pneumatic cylinder to lift and lower the work surface, giving it a gliding motion without the need of a power source.
Float Mini embodies Humanscale’s commitment to creating ergonomic and sustainable products. Although standard in most other sit/stand desks, Float Mini does not utilize any harmful Red List chemicals, such as formaldehyde. In addition, Humanscale chose to use bamboo for the work surface as opposed to traditional wood. Bamboo takes less than 10 years to replenish, making it the more planet-friendly option.
"We are extremely pleased to introduce this new collection in the Indian market at a timewhen the modern workplace is fast evolving and collaborative and informal settings have become essential hubs for productivity," said Alastair Stubbs, Country Director India,Humanscale.“Humanscale’s new collection is a testament to the company’s commitment to enhancing the health, well-being, and productivity of workers everywhere. By turning spaces into places that encourage movement, comfort, and personalization, Humanscale is setting a new benchmark for workplace design.”
