Cardboard Standing Desks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Switch Stance is an Inexpensive and Portable Standing Desk Option

— April 15, 2016 — Art & Design
Setting up a standing desk often requires a complicated setup that involves complicated table attachments or permanently affixing a unit to a wall—as a simpler alternative to these options, Switch Stance was developed as a portable standing desk.

As well as being incredibly easy to set up, take apart and set up again, its high-grade industrial strength cardboard construction makes it extremely affordable. The mobile system involves two tiers of cardboard, which means that the unit can be used from sitting or from standing in order to reduce strain on the eyes and back.

In addition to the two flat surfaces for storing a keyboard and a screen, there's a small slot on one side of the Switch Stance unit that can be used for handy phone storage. This project is currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter and has already exceeded its initial goals.

2. Cardboard Construction - The use of high-grade industrial strength cardboard in Switch Stance creates a disruptive innovation opportunity for eco-friendly and cost-effective standing desks.
3. Multi-functional Design - The inclusion of a small slot for phone storage in Switch Stance showcases a trend towards integrating various functions into standing desk designs.
Industry Implications

2. E-commerce - The crowdfunding success of projects like Switch Stance on platforms like Kickstarter highlights the potential for e-commerce companies to revolutionize the way standing desks are marketed and sold.
3. Sustainable Packaging - The use of cardboard as a construction material in Switch Stance aligns with the trend towards sustainable packaging solutions, opening up opportunities for innovation in the packaging industry.
