With the future of workspace and traveling to the office in question, in the long term there are considerations that need to be taken into account to make sure our home offices are equipped to be a long-term solution.
For some time companies have been considering ergonomics but home workspaces are often poorly designed. Sometimes even makeshift solutions are put into place, i.e., using books to raise the height of a desk or screen. This is ok in the short term but for people’s well-being this cannot be a long-term option.
Tom Parfitt, a Furniture Maker at Benchmark, was looking for a suitable solution for his home but could not find anything. This led to him to develop the concept for the Noa desk.
Noa is an ergonomic sit-stand desk made from natural materials and ideal for a small space. Noa has been designed around the ideals of biophilic design. The desk features a central LINAK Electric Desklift Column, which is operated by a DPG control allowing for smooth movement.
Fiona Coyne, Sales and Marketing Director at Benchmark stated that - ‘Quite simply we believe that LINAK delivers the best quality sit-stand mechanisms available - the smoothest and most robust mechanics.’
Benchmark also uses electric Desklift columns on the Sage Sit-Stand desk and workbench.
As a company Benchmark were founded in 1984 and sustainability has always been at the heart of the company. It is their mission to create furniture that makes a positive contribution to human health and the environment.
All Benchmark products are designed for well-being, they draw upon the restorative power of nature to design and make furniture with health and well-being in mind. The furniture is made with natural materials, colors and textures, soft profiles and nature-inspired ergonomic shapes, to create spaces that are more human, welcoming and personal.
Due to the materials and level of workmanship Benchmark furniture will last for a lifetime and they are proud to offer a ‘Take Back’ scheme where furniture can be returned to them when it is no longer needed. It will be refurbished, re-purposed or donated to charitable enterprises.
