Abstract

As remote work continues to gain prominence, the importance of designing ergonomic furniture for home-based work setups has increased significantly. This article employs a mixed research methodology involving interviews and observations to explore the impact of ergonomic furniture on users' work experiences and to provide valuable insights into the design principles of such furniture. Through interviews, participants will share their experiences and perspectives on using ergonomic furniture in their remote work environments, allowing for a deeper understanding of the benefits and challenges associated with such furniture. Additionally, observations will be conducted to assess how ergonomic furniture influences productivity, health, and body strain reduction. The article will delve into the various advantages of ergonomic furniture, including increased productivity, improved health, and reduced strain on the body, highlighting their significance in enhancing the overall work experience. Moreover, the article will shed light on the challenges encountered when designing ergonomic furniture for home-based work setups, such as limited space availability and budget constraints. By combining interview findings and observational data, the article will propose practical design solutions that address these challenges, enabling the creation of ergonomic furniture capable of accommodating different home-based work setups and enhancing users' work experiences. The insights derived from this research will serve as valuable guidance for the development of ergonomic furniture tailored to support users in their remote work environments.
