active work furniture

This project was part of DDW 2021

A Simple Machine is a series of objects that integrate physical activity into the workplace. At DDW we will present Desk_1 and Stool_1, which together form a human powered sit/stand workspot for office or at home use.

Introducing movement into static environments with human powered work furniture.

With A Simple Machine HeijltjesAkkaya disrupt static work environments with movement and momentum. A Simple Machine combines ergonomics and engineering to promote physical activity in the workplace. Its pulleys, weights and levers, powered by human energy, enable a new working rhythm.
