Challenges and choices

The shift to healthier workspaces: why height-adjustable desks are essential

With over 30 million office jobs in Europe, most workspaces are still dominated by traditional sit-down desks. As workdays are largely spent sitting, the negative impact on physical and mental health continues to grow. That’s why more companies are switching to height-adjustable desks—a key solution to improve employee well-being and productivity.

If you’re considering upgrading your office setup, you may be wondering: Where do you start with so many options?

Office furniture as an investment in people

A desk isn’t just a piece of furniture—it’s an investment in your workforce. An ergonomic setup directly affects how comfortable and productive employees are throughout the day. Employers want their teams focused on meeting deadlines and delivering results, not on discomfort from back pain, neck strain, or wrist fatigue.

The key to creating a healthy work environment is equipping employees with the right tools:


  • - Height-adjustable desks to alternate between sitting and standing

  • - Ergonomic chairs designed to support proper posture

  • - Monitor arms for optimal screen positioning

At AOKE, we understand that quality matters. That’s why we only use high-quality materials in our height-adjustable office furniture. We believe that investing in office furniture isn’t just about improving today’s performance—it’s an investment in your company’s future success.

Desks for every person and every preference

When choosing the right desk, it’s important to consider both functionality and design preferences. At AOKE, we provide desks that meet the needs of a wide range of roles and work environments:

  • - Creative professionals and designers often prefer desks with curved or flexible designs. Their focus is on having a workspace that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, without distractions.

  • - C-level executives and management typically opt for larger, L-shaped corner desks, which offer ample workspace and add a touch of sophistication to their office.

  • - Call centers and open-plan offices commonly use 120-degree desks, which are both functional and cost-effective. These desks are ideal for large-scale projects, providing ergonomic benefits with a unique space-efficient design

Since different roles have different ergonomic and design requirements, AOKE offers a wide variety of options to meet every need. Explore our catalog to find the perfect desks for your business.

The home office revolution

The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way we think about work. What was once an exception—working from home—is now a permanent fixture in many industries. At the beginning of the pandemic, millions of employees improvised home workstations. But as remote work became the norm, the need for dedicated, ergonomic home office setups became clear.

AOKE offers a wide range of products for the home office, including:

  • - Height-adjustable desks

  • - Ergonomic chairs

  • - Monitor arms and cable management accessories

When choosing home office furniture, factors like personal taste, available space, and budget play a bigger role than in traditional office environments. Our desks come in various finishes, including black, white, and aluminium. Allowing employees to complement their home décor. Whether you’re looking for a budget-friendly solution or a premium home office setup, AOKE has options to fit any need.


The future of work: flexibility and agility

Gone are the days of rigid office setups with rows of static desks. The future of work is flexible, dynamic, and focused on employee well-being. Modern office designs prioritize movement, collaboration, and comfort, making height-adjustable desks and other ergonomic furniture central to this new way of working.

Businesses are shifting toward work environments where employees can easily switch between sitting and standing, improving posture and reducing fatigue. Companies that prioritize health and well-being are seeing the long-term benefits in productivity, employee satisfaction, and retention.

At AOKE Europe, we’re always listening to feedback from our customers and network of wholesalers to stay ahead of industry trends. Our R&D team is continuously developing new ergonomic office solutions and improving the sustainability of our existing products. From innovative desk designs to environmentally friendly materials, we’re committed to building workspaces for the future.
