box clever addressed two defining shifts in today’s work culture: a focus on well-being and the rise of the untethered work desk. its stability allows users to naturally lean, distributing their weight and supporting healthy shifts in posture – a great companion to height-adjustable desks. ‘there’s been this battle that’s been going on for a long time between is it better to stand or is it better to sit? This is the answer to that’, explains bret recor, box clever co-founder.
