Before the outbreak of coronavirus only 5% of people in the UK worked from home, meaning that for many this will be a new set up to navigate. Only a minority of people have a dedicated home office however there are many products that can help to transform any room in the home into a workspace that is productive and healthy.
Humanscale, a worldwide leader in designing and creating ergonomic innovations, creates office furniture which is not only beautiful but also designed to encourage movement at work promoting a healthy dedicated workspace.
Investing in an ergonomic task chair in one of the most important things that you can do to promote a healthy home working environment.

Its mesh backrest is designed with a weight sensitive recline mechanism. It will automatically adjust to support each user at every recline position, moving with the user to provide balanced, lumbar support throughout the working day.
