Abak Exchange is a versatile workstation that allows you to move from a sitting position to a standing position at the touch of a button.
Product Story
Studies have long shown that a holistic, health-positive office that encourages regular movement helps us feel better and perform better.
Through the placement of shared equipment and common spaces, including both sitting and standing height workstations, workplace design can help release creativity by encouraging interaction and stimulating the senses.
Abak Exchange is a height-adjustable workstation that allows you to move from sitting to standing at the touch of a button, bringing movement and versatility to the workspace. Accommodating all shapes and sizes, Abak Exchange can increase comfort levels, foster interactivity, and promote long-term health benefits.
Sit to Stand
Postural variation has been a central premise to Herman Miller design since Propst’s groundbreaking Action Office emerged in the 1960s. What Propst understood through observation, research has since proven: the human body needs to move. We need to be intentional about putting movement back into work. A sit-to-stand workstation allows you to alternate between sitting and standing throughout the day. This simple activity will refresh all your major and minor muscle groups, reduce the chance of back pain, and improve circulation.
Proven Pedigree
Abak Exchange is part of the proven and popular Abak Environments family. First introduced in Europe, Abak Environments was designed to meet the rigorous needs of the workplace – intelligent connection, instant flexibility and longevity of parts. And while Abak Exchange brings motorised height adjustability to the fore, Abak Environments has always been focused on the concepts of flexibility and adaptability, with a set of ergonomic components that can be reconfigured to meet individual needs.
