It is no secret that changing our posture throughout the day is essential to our wellbeing in the office. What’s more, adapting a posture that is appropriate for the task at hand helps relieve stress placed upon the body. Okamura recommends five postures for increased office productivity and efficiency. Among them is the perching posture, a perfect combination of standing and sitting, which is suitable for a standing meeting or a touchdown. Our perching stool, repiroue was brought to life with the intention of making the perching posture more accessible in the office environment.

Semi-standing posture, an intermediate posture between sitting and standing postures. Retention of the upper body and reduced strain on the legs and hips, less strain on the body and less fatigue. It is suitable for short meetings, as standing and sitting are quick and easy.

Recovered aluminum is processed into a recycled form by alloy manufacturers and later into aluminum. Energy consumption can be reduced by 97% by generating recycled metal from recovered aluminum rather than creating aluminum from its source material bauxite.

Steel
Steelmakers use recovered steel to produce new steel. Steelmaking with recovered steel consumes 75% less energy than steelmaking from iron ore.
