The ergonomic rest lets you keep your feet moving even when sitting. Since [prolonged sitting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/break) has many negative effects on our health, squeezing a little bit of activity in can help immensely. To augment its awesome health effects, the ooloo comes with various prints. You can order a rocking footrest printed with original artwork to complement your workspace. Several abstract and surreal designs and illustrations such as the 'Red Bird' and the 'Hiker' have been made available. If you don't like the original prints provided, you can get your own custom graphics imprinted on the board. The ooloo is currently fundraising for production from [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-walker). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 32% | 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) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Active Sitting:** The ooloo footrest is a great example of active sitting which is a hot trend in ergonomic furniture and workplace wellness. - **Customizable Ergonomic Furniture:** The ooloo footrest reflects the trend of customizable ergonomic furniture in the current home decor market. - **Artistic Functional Furniture:** The unique prints available on the ooloo footrest reflect a trend of artistic functional furniture, merging form and function. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Ergonomic Furniture:** Companies making ergonomic furniture should explore incorporating unique designs and prints like the ooloo footrest offers for more stylish and versatile options. - **Home Decor:** The ooloo footrest shows how home decor industry players can add customizable and artistic options in their furniture lines for both form and function to cater to the growing wellness trend. - **Printed Merchandise:** The ooloo footrest demonstrates the vast possibilities of printed merchandise in the world of functional furniture, and also attention to ergonomics and wellness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Functional Decorative Rocking Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rool-stool.md) - [Active Motion Desk Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swing-ao-stool.md) - [Ergonomic Leg-Support Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/secretlab.md) - [Contemporary Rocking Pouffe Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platero.md) - [Computer Chair Leg Supports](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/secretlab-otto-adjustable-legrest.md) - [Active Sitting Cork Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ylin-stool.md) - [Modernized Rocking Chair Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nodding-chair.md) - [Youth-Ready Rocking Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ready-rocker-1.md) - [Fitness-Focused Office Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ezhula-chair.md)
