We all know, trends come and go. This is especially true in the office world. Industry leading brands are always hard at working looking for new and innovative ways to improve the way we work. Today on The Office Anything Blog we'll take a look at 5 trends that look to be fading and the products that are rapidly replacing them.
1.) Kneeling Chairs
You can always tell when a trend is starting to fade. In the case of kneeling chairs, it's become very evident because brands have really stepped away from manufacturing them. The market demand is just too small. Are kneeling chairs cool? Sure! That being said, today's top chair office brands are far more enthused with the ergonomic advancements surrounding traditional task and computer chairs in 2017. If you need a kneeling chair, there will definitely be options available for years to come. Unfortunately, your selection is starting to diminish.
2.) Single Screen Mounts
One is good, two is better! First we say individuals content with factory monitor bases. Then the monitor arm introduced and it took the ergo world by storm because it created a ton of usable desk space and provided exceptional adjustment capabilities. Now we're seeing workers make the switch to dual screen systems, thus leaving older single screen units behind. As we're always looking for ways to speed things up throughout the day, a dual screen system will help you cut down on the time spent flipping between tabs and make life in the office much smoother while providing the same space and adjustment benefits of single screen systems. Dual monitor arm arm systems are currently the most popular option, but who knows three and four screen mounts may just be the craze before you know it!
3.) Mobile CPU Holders
Old school mobile CPU holders or "power movers" are rapidly going out of style. You really won't see many brands still making these. In 2017, under mount solutions on retractable glides are the way to go. They provide much more in terms of benefits. While a mobile CPU holder will allow you to move your power source around with ease, it's still restricted because of the cords and typically located in the same spot under the desk. With a retractable CPU holder that mounts under you desk surface, your power source will be up off the ground and out of the way to create more usable knee space. Under mount units also help get your CPU higher up and locked to protect your valued digital files against theft and flood damage.
4.) Hand Crank Tables
Moving right along, sit to stand ergonomic office furniture is the latest craze. This trend started with traditional hand crank tables that took a bit of work to get them up to standing height. Top brands understood that workers were tired of breaking a sweat to work healthy. They knew electric sit to stand tables were the only answer. These days, nearly every reputable ergo manufacturer on the planet is offering some form of push button sit to stand workstation that encourages continuous movement in the workplace, improves blood flow, and reduces fatigue. Alternatively, you won't find too many hand crank tables still out there. If you can find one, they're definitely more affordable when compared to today's electric models. That said, you'll probably wish you'd of spent the extra funds on an electric model once you've cranked it a few times.
5.) Manual Adjustment Chairs
Why spend time adjusting when your chair can do it for you? In 2017 we're seeing a ton of reputable manufacturers working hard to craft the latest and greatest responsive office chairs that minimize the ergonomic learning curve. Manual adjustment chairs will always have their place, but make no mistake, auto responding seating solutions are going to eventually be the industry standard. An ergonomic office chair with an articulating back will help you stay posture perfect throughout task filled days without the need for constant lever pulling and tension knob twisting. We're already seeing brands like RFM, Mayline, Eurotech, and Global driving this emerging movement into superstardom. If you're shopping for a new office chair in 2017, prepare accordingly by checking out hot new "smart chairs" that'll help you get comfortable without the headaches.
