Now You Can Recline At Work

A company called Altwork is now selling a new chair that they believe will revolutionize the work place. This chair allows workers to lie down and is equipped with a table and flatscreen monitor. The cost maybe too prohibitive though. John Iadarola (Think Tank), Brett Erlich (Pop Trigger), Margaret J. Howell (The Lip TV) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.

Would you use this chair? Is the cost too much for you? Let us know in the comments below.

“HAVE YOU EVER worked from home? Sure you have. You might start the day sitting at your desk, then move to a standing position at some point. You try to avoid the couch and bed, but at some point, you will end up in that all-too-familiar position: on your back, knees bent, supporting a laptop somewhat precariously above your face, the heat from the processors gently burning your thighs.

While the standing desk has become a staple in homes and offices, this ergonomic revolution hasn’t given us an acceptable way to recline flat and still be able to work. And not just lie down, really, but what about all the many micro-positions between standing and sitting? Those are the places Altwork wants to be.

Altwork is a convertible workstation that covers everything from standing to sitting to lying down, with your monitor hanging above you. The company will begin selling its workstations today for an “early adopter” price of $3,900. The regular retail price will be $5,900.”
