Grounded


Sit . Perch . Stand

Our objective with Grounded, is to improve informal interactions for people during project work, in a sit, perch and/or stand position.

Access to movement, when you need it

We understand the complex requirements of elevated work. Grounded is a unique project table series because of its extra wide ‘Foot-Plate’. This simple addition enables you to feel secure, comfortable and Grounded, when sitting, perching and standing around the furniture.

The concept of Grounded is inspired by our in-depth research into the postures assumed when small groups assemble informally while working, learning, connecting. We were struck by how inappropriate seating solutions caused awkward interactions and how ill-conceived tables created unsatisfactory solutions.

Grounded provides a standing height working surface with a deep foot-plate, to enable comfortable and highly ergonomic grounding for the users’ feet, so they feel completely natural and comfortable, when sitting up in a higher position. This enables co-workers to remain standing at the same table, without breaking the eye-lines during collaborative efforts. It also makes the act of moving and standing much more accessible.

Grounded is a feeling of being well balanced and secure. Removing the physical barriers to rich interpersonal communication is key to what we do at GreyFox.

Maintain eye-level communication and improve comprehension, flow and participation within small groups. Sitting at a low level often hinders your ability to move frequently and with fluidity. In addition, most ‘high-sitting’ furniture does not provide adequate foot support for comfortable, multi-postural sitting or standing positions.

Move frequently and freely - Grounded is designed to free users, by enabling key postural possibilities to happen naturally, enjoying unbroken interaction, while you move.

Our foot-plate means you will not be searching for that ‘grounded’ feeling, when sitting higher. Now you can choose to sit, perch or stand, in comfort and without breaking eye level communication. This increases the frequency of full-body, high-quality movement while using the furniture.

A table shouldn’t merely hold objects, it should bring people into better connection with one another…
