Okamura for many years has been conducting research into “Furniture that supports our working posture”.
Since the release of its rear tilting and standing posture support products in 2006 and 2015 respectively, they continue to develop furniture that reduces physical stress and provides work comfort.
“REGAS” through its desktop “Raise/Lower & Tilt” functions, provides optimal posture support regardless of physique, work content, or changes in mood from focused to relaxed. The intuitive lever provides smooth electronic height adjustment.
An obstacle sensor has been incorporated that automatically stops operation and reverses the desktop by 30mm. The desktop’s durable “Tilt” mechanism angles up to 15°.
The design encourages an upright body posture with eyes straight forward, reducing both neck and shoulder strain.
The tilting desktop is surrounded by a flat desktop for cups, pens, monitors etc. For work focus, felt panels made of recycled materials are also available.
These panels act to prevent COVID-19 transmission prevention through the spread of airborne droplets.
The design makes possible replacement of individual parts for long life. The styling is both elegant and sharp.
