THE ORIGINS OF TOPO

We know that sitting and lack of movement is bad for us. Working at a standing desk is a great way to counteract this. But, standing is only healthier than sitting if it’s done right. If you use a standing desk regularly, you know that long sessions on flat ground gets uncomfortable.

Research indicates that static standing is too little stimulation for healthy living. Making more movements, more often throughout the day, is key to improving health and productivity. A comparison of the movement of standing on a flat mat, versus a Topo.

THE DESIGN OF TOPO

The inspiration for Topo came from the movements our bodies perform negotiating the varied terrains we encounter when we are active away from our desks. These movements engage and activate our muscles and improve circulation, benefits that are lacking from static standing.

The team at Topo wanted to mimic the topography that keeps us active and position it where we stand. After researching, collaborating with biomechanics experts and extensive testing, Topo was created.

Topo has seven calculated terrain features that optimally support the body while standing and stimulate healthy movement. Moving around on these terrains in a combination of stances, articulates joints and activates muscles. These movements energise, improve circulation and make standing healthier.
