A compact workplace

Globe "Tree"

Important backdrop: The Globe concept is rooted in Garden, a design created by Peter Opsvik in the early 1980s. Garden was conceived not primarily as a piece of furniture, but as a statement about movement, ergonomics and how we move while sitting.

With its two back balls, rounded seat and two flexible small tables, as well as the foot rest; it offers a complete and ergonomic workstation in a compact format. There is plenty of space for a laptop or tablet PC, mobile phone and coffee cup.

The Globe “Tree” is a laptop workplace designed for the new way in which we work and it fits most users without adjustments. You decide where you want the tables – as a work surface for your laptop and a sideboard for your mobile phone and coffee cup, or to just offer support to your arm while you think or talk on the phone.

The Globe encourages active sitting postures. The seat is rounded and placed higher than usual and this allows you a more open and dynamic way of sitting. It also gives you the possibility to vary between a number of good postures. This means less pressure of the back, neck and shoulders.

The small supporting ball creates an extra level for your foot and thus increases mobility even further. When using the footrest you can sit further in on the seat and getting support from the two back-balls. These two rotates so when you move on the Globe you experience a very comfortable support; almost like a massage, and it provides support for your upper body and arms at various angles.

Globe Two
The Globe Two build on the same principle as Globe Tree, with just the one swivel ball shaped backrest, works well with a height adjustable table. It encourages active sitting postures. The different levels for the feet and fit most users without any adjustments. You sit higher, more active and it is easy to vary between a number of positive sitting postures.
