Back, head and joint injuries have risen throughout the British population during lockdown due to the new working from home conditions. Research with experts has indicated that the key to preventing these issues is movement.

Ukiyo is a platform that allows users to transition their work setup throughout their day. This tool enables them to alternate between sitting and standing more easily, encouraging more activity when working from home.

A unique folding solution has been designed taking inspiration from the mechanics of ‘paper pop-ups’ - enabling seamless storage and working experience for all users. This mechanism makes the product satisfying for you to use, and ensures it can be stored in small spaces. The use of long-lasting, quality materials and simplistic, repairable design reduces its environmental impact.
