Problem Statement
Our client has asked us to design a
standing desk with a budget of $200 that can serve as an alternative to the
conventional seated desk. Studies have shown that sedentary behavior for long
periods of time cause, not only, health problems like obesity and
musculoskeletal problems, but also issues with productivity. A standing
desk would aim to provide a solution to these major problems with features such
as comfortability, pleasing aesthetics, durability, safety as well as
adjustability of both the height and pitch of the desk, which would all be keys
to the design.
