From [Humanscale](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humanscale-float-mini), the Tome-powered [adjustable desk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herman-miller-spout) tells you when to sit and stand. Software and hardware are both built into the desk and chair. OfficeIQ is developed to send you [notifications about ergonomics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deskbreak) and the most productive working position. Described as active intelligence for the modern workspace, the furniture was on display at CES 2015 last week. The system and connected smart workstation helps people move more during the day rather than sitting stationary in front of a screen. The intelligent sit/stand chair and task chairs collect data regarding to your activity and wellness. The furniture is backed by science and encourages you to stand more while working. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Active Intelligence Workstations:** Tome-powered adjustable desks embedded with hardware and software tell users when to sit and stand while providing notification about ergonomics and productivity. - **Ergonomic Furniture:** Smart chairs and task chairs collect data regarding user activity and wellness while encouraging users to stand more while working. - **Movement-encouraging Tech:** Integrated technology in workspaces encourages users to move more during the day rather than sitting stationary in front of a screen. ### Where This Applies - **Office Furniture Industry:** The industry can look into creating more active intelligence workstations and ergonomic furniture to improve user health and productivity. - **Technology Industry:** Technology companies can innovate new movement-encouraging tech for workspaces that promotes user health and productivity. - **Health and Wellness Industry:** Companies in the health and wellness industry can explore partnerships with office furniture and technology companies to develop solutions that improve user health and wellness through workplace design and technology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Voice Assistant Smart Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ergonomyx-smart-desk-20.md) - [Ergonomic Smart Workstation Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ergonomic-workstations.md) - [Gesture Control Smart Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-smartdesk-levitate.md) - [Professional Posture-Tracking Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/norm-model-b-desk.md) - [Standing Desk Workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/standing-desk-workstations.md) - [Customizable Tech Brand Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corsair-platform6.md) - [Posture-Analyzing Desk Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desk-assistant.md) - [Dynamic Intelligent Office Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dynamic-spinecare.md) - [Adjustable Laptop Desk Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sitstand-desk1.md)
