About us.
Ergonomic Cafe is an award winning British ergonomic product design company specialising in office based and mobile DSE solutions. All products are designed in-house and are delivered to the end user through a network of carefully chosen dealers and distributors. As we do not supply direct to the end user we can focus entirely on product development. And for this reason we have quickly become known as innovators in our sector.
Our Products.
We offer a wide range of products to suite many requirements. Our main goal is always to deliver quality products that can be adjusted to suit your individual needs. We listen to people and design solutions that can be adjusted to suit each individual’s requirements.
At the Office.
As desk-space becomes increasingly smaller, the value of anything placed upon increases and thus must be increasingly more productive. All our products are designed to be multifunctional, and thus maximise the benefits. This increases the ergonomic benefits to the user and can also increase productivity.
Hot Desking Environments.
An increase in flexible working has led to a surge in more than one person using the same work area at different times of the day or week. We recognise that each person is an individual with individual needs such as height, reach etc. Therefore we design our product to not only offer a wide range of adjustment. But to also be adjustable in seconds, so each individual can work in comfort and not compromise.
Mobile and Home Working.
With the significant increase in mobile working, and people working from home. We have delivered a number of mobile solutions, such as laptop stands with built-in copy holders. These products are not only incredibly light weight and compact as a portable solution should be. But also incredibly strong and designed to be deployed in seconds!
“We strive to design solutions so you can work in comfort and not in compromise.” John Andrews. MD Ergonomic Cafe Ltd.
