We all know by now that sitting behind a computer for hours on end is detrimental. That’s why some smart people created the standing desk. And while standing might be better, what’s (literally) one step ahead is Walksolution’s treadmill desk. That’s right, keep walking.
The walking desk
Wanderlust by the German company Walksolution is a treadmill with a desk attached to it to keep you fit while working. It’s coined as the world’s first noiseless and non-motorized walking treadmill with an integrated ergonomic desk and backrest. It seems like a great way to get rid of that office blob, though we do wonder if you can actually type comfortably while walking. But then again practice makes perfect and they did say it was an ergonomically designed desk.
Walk for trees
If you’re tired of walking there’s a backrest to relax for a bit and catch your breath. And as the thing doesn’t have a motor you could just stop walking to take break. The human-centered design is combined with eco-friendly and sustainable manufacturing. Walksolution heats its production halls with its own wood waste and only uses wood from sustainably operated foresters. To make it all even more sustainable, for every 10,000 steps you take on the treadmill the company plants a tree.
If you like the idea of a sustainable treadmill, you can also buy the thing without a desk attached to it. And as a third option you can also buy the treadmill with a free standing desk. That gives you all the freedom you want for adjustments. The Wanderlust is available through walksolution.com and comes with a pricetag of about 5,591 USD.
Not quite ready yet for a treadmill desk? Then why not spruce up your old desk and turn it into a notification center.
