Better Health in Schools & Work

Inspiration

The founders of Jaswig believed that there was a solution to not feeling good sitting in front of a screen all day at a traditional desk. They aimed to improve health in school children and adults in the work place. The founders believe that people should enjoy their time at work and their solution is to put happiness into productivity while working at a desk.

Overall impact

The Jaswig standing, adjustable desk not only improves health, education, and work efficiency, but also incorporates sustainability into their business operations. The founders think consciously in all of their decisions and take into consideration their impact on people and the plant.

Business benefit

Cost savings from using sustainable material. Wood should last at least 30 years and if it breaks the companies structure allows for it to be easily replaced and fixed without having to buy a new unit.

Social and environmental benefit

Uses less natural resources so less trees are being cut. If glue degrades it is certified and causes no warm to the environment.

Jaswig is a small company that is helping create healthier lives in all age groups. The founder was inspired by his girlfriend when she would complain about back pain and being restless after a long day. Thus, they decided to design a desk that is adjustable in height and will be mobile to suit all needs. This desk creates less stress on one's back and can help one burn energy while at work or studying for that upcoming test.
