DESIGN STORY

We’re leaders in workplace ergonomics. So we understand that the very definition of a workplace is evolving.
With offices taking a back seat to flexible, itinerant working, laptop use is on the rise. But our research showed that although using a laptop was convenient, it was anything but comfortable. Existing portable laptop stands on the market were complex to set up and didn’t encourage people to adjust their laptop to the right height. Often, they didn’t take into account that laptop screens have limited opening angles, and were impractical when used on a higher setting.
We wanted to design a stand that meant people could use their laptop in an ergonomic position no matter where they were working. We wanted to transform how people use their laptops.

We tried. We tested. We engineered. And we finally created Oripura, the world’s first folding laptop stand that’s 100% recyclable.
Through all the protypes and testing for ergonomic benefits, we also focused on Oripura’s environmental benefits too. Our easy assemble design meant we could keep manufacturing in the UK, which reduces its transportation carbon footprint. To reduce Oripura’s environmental impact even more, we engineered for longevity. It comes with a five-year guarantee and has been tested to last for thousands of cycles. While Oripura is made from two different materials that are over-moulded, they’re both made of the same polyolefins, so it can be recycled without being disassembled when it does come to the end of its life. And the packaging is 100% recyclable too.
Crucially, we succeeded in making Oripura perform ergonomically as well as environmentally. Portable, easy to set up and at any affordable price, Oripura can be used for ergonomic laptop use by people anywhere and everywhere.
