Steelcase fosters motion in the office

Steelcase, the world's largest office furniture manufacturer, has introduced a new type of furniture, which should bring more motion into the office. The heart of the so-called Walk Station is a treadmill directly under a stand-up work desk.

In collaboration with James Levine of the Majo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, this workstation was developed. Studies by Dr. Levine evidence, that physical activity during the office work has positive effects on the welfare of the working person.

The maximum speed of the Walk station is limited to 5 km/h. The movement on the Walk Station should never be more than comfortable going. The desktop of the Walking Station is electrically adjustable for a fast and easy adjustment of the working height for each user.
