Even the most conventionally appearing office furniture can be filled with ergonomic design elements. And if not built originally with ergonomics in mind a few simple adjustments can turn any office or workspace into an efficient ergonomic area.
Let us begin with the traditional rectangular office desk. How can we make this standard 30 inch high office desk more comfortable to work behind? As simple an item as a modular desk extension can allow us to set our computer monitor at an exact height level. If this is inconvenient place that monitor at a 45° angle on the corner of our desk, to create much the same effect. Ergonomic keyboards and seat cushions also go a long way towards lessening fatigue. Rectangular office desks are inherently not ergonomic. As such, we must add to them small accoutrements and make them more user-friendly.
One might ask how can furniture such as a glass office desk be ergonomic? Quite obviously the most noticeable feature of glass office desks is their transparency. Being able to see the location of a briefcase or folders placed on the floor or in a module adjoining our desk is very easy to do when looking through a glass desktop. This reduces extraneous stretching and leaning over chair arms.
