Inspired by the active lifestyle of athletes, the Lap Table is a versatile work station designed for those who like to remain moving even when sitting. Athletes, yogis, and runners will find it easy to stretch their muscles while using the Lap Table. Made entirely of lap joints, the table allows the user to comfortably sit on the floor while working or relaxing. The angled placement of the legs allows for a variety of stretching positions, whether cross-legged or with legs outstretched. The user can sit against two different sides, in six different orientations.
A study in ergonomics and human dimensions in space, the shape of the table is derived entirely from its function. The top has been sized to comfortably fit a laptop, mouse, and a coffee mug or water bottle. The legs taper and become round in form as they meet the ground so as to provide a soft surface against the user’s outstretched legs. Each lateral support is expressed outside of the work surface, but the corners have been rounded over to enhance comfort.
