The stand allows you to adjust the viewing height and angle, making it easier for you to type and view the screen without having to crane your neck or slouch forward. When laptops are placed on regular desks, they usually require the user to slouch forward, adopting a posture that is uncomfortable, unhealthy and unattractive. The Flio stand lets you easily adjust the laptop's height and angle. It is also extremely slim, lightweight and portable and can easily be carried around and used outdoors, in coffee shops, on the train or of course at work or the comfort of your home. Designed by [Rotterdam](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rotterdam-rocks)-based Vlad Butucariu, the Flio stand is currently the subject of a [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-laptop-stand-desk) campaign. A pledge of $12 will get you a Flio Mini for your smartphone, while $25 will get you a Flio base version in high quality hardwood. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Ergonomic Laptop Stands:** Creating laptop stands which promote ergonomic posture and increase comfort level during use. - **Portable Laptop Stands:** Manufacturing ultra-slim and collapsible laptop stands for outdoor usage and travel convenience. - **Adjustable Laptop Stands:** Innovating laptop stands which allow the user to easily adjust the viewing height and angle for greater comfort. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Furniture:** Adapting furniture designs to incorporate ergonomic principles, allowing people to work more comfortably. - **Technology:** Manufacturing highly portable and adjustable tech accessories that enhance people's digital experiences. - **Travel:** Creating travel-friendly accessories that promote health and comfort, enabling people to work productively on the go. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Slim Folding Laptop Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metastand-pro.md) - [Slender Ergonomic Laptop Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onepiece-laptop-stand.md) - [Highly Portable Laptop Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maxtand-20.md) - [Collapsible Laptop Holder Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-macbook-stand.md) - [Multi-Purpose Computer Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/computer-stand3.md) - [Graphene-Infused Laptop Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moft-cooling-stand.md) - [Ergonomic Laptop Cooling Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keebmonkey-laptop-stand.md) - [Haute Tubular Laptop Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookarc-flex-macbook-stand.md) - [Portable Professional Standing Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-laptop-stand-desk.md)
