# Bicycle-Inspired Workstations Focal's Locus Workstation is Designed to be Ergonomic and Portable By Michael Hines | Published 2013-10-07 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/locus-workstation References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/focal-locus-workstation-ergonomic-standing-workstation-with-adjustable-desk/) & [store.focaluprightfurniture](http://store.focaluprightfurniture.com/) Focal Upright Furniture has put a new spin on the work desk with its Locus Workstation. This desk consists of two pieces: an adjustable seat and footboard and a small work desk that is also adjustable. The Locus Workstation is designed to accommodate people ranging in height from 4'11" to 6'8" and up to 300 pounds. The desk can hold up to 180 pounds as well. The desk can be angled up to 15 degrees or used in a flat position and also comes with an LED light and a small cup to hold pens and pencils. The Locus Workstation is highly portable, as evidenced by the wheels on the footboard. As offices become smaller and work hours become longer, look for more furniture companies to follow the lead of Focal by developing compact and ergonomic work desks and chairs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Compact Workstations:** Developing smaller and portable workstations to accommodate smaller office spaces and remote work opportunities. - **Ergonomic Work Desks:** Creating work desks with adjustable features and ergonomic designs to promote better posture and reduce physical strain. - **Portable Office Furniture:** Designing lightweight and easily transportable office furniture to cater to the increasing trend of remote work and flexible workspaces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Manufacturing companies specializing in ergonomic office furniture can capitalize on the growing demand for compact and versatile workstations. - **Office Supply Retail:** Retailers selling ergonomic work desks and chairs can tap into the market of professionals seeking comfortable and adjustable office furniture. - **Co-working Spaces:** Co-working spaces can consider incorporating compact and portable office furniture to cater to the needs of remote workers and freelancers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Floor-Sit Desk Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uppeal-desk-lshaped.md) - [Scooter-Like Portable Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-work-station.md) - [Ergonomic Wheel-Integrated Workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/azbi-chair.md) - [Standing Desk Workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/standing-desk-workstations.md) - [Freestanding Vertical Desk Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workstick.md) - [Modern Portable Work Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worknic.md) - [Multifunctional Standing Work Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boundary-desk-1.md) - [Mobile Outdoor Workspace Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freelance-workspace.md) - [Leaning Portable Workstation Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leandesk.md)
