Antimicrobial Protection
Biology to benefit workplace wellbeing
We researched the most frequently touched surfaces on a desk and applied an optional antimicrobial protection on those areas. As a result, Ology offers the up/down controller and the soft edge profile with antimicrobial protection.
Take Control of Wellbeing in the Workplace
Every aspect of Ology has been designed to promote user movement and wellbeing, including two control options—Simple Touch and Active Touch.
Ology’s Simple Touch control empowers users to effortlessly move the desk up or down without taking their eyes off their work, while Active Touch reminds workers to change posture with gentle desk motions.
Active Touch pairs seamlessly with the Rise app (available Winter 2018) allowing users to create a profile with preset heights and activity goals, and to track their level of activity over time.
