Even in the most ergonomic chair, sitting all day has been found time and time again to result in a host of health problems. That said, standing all day brings a whole new set of issues. Research shows that the best option is to stay in motion, sitting and standing throughout the day as needed.

The goal of the Quickstand Lite was to expand on the success of the original Quickstand by creating a flexible solution that can adapt to any workspace. Using an extra-long version of the M8 monitor arm for vertical adjustment has the side effect of offering front-to-back adjustment as well, which allows the Quickstand Lite to easily accommodate desks of varying depth.

I took over this project after the initial concept phase and refined the final form language of the upper body and base, working with internal and external engineering resources to take the product to production.
