Multi-tiered workstation assembly

A multi-tiered work arrangement includes stacked horizontal planar surfaces that have footprints that enable stacking of the planar surfaces to provide work surfaces that are easily accessible to a user in both a sitting and a standing position. A first work surface can have a wide end and a narrow end, and a second work surface can have corresponding narrow and wide ends. The wide end of the first planar surface is substantially equivalent in length to the narrow end of the second planar surface such that the work surfaces can be stacked in use, providing two unobstructed work surfaces at different heights.

STATIC STRUCTURE HAVING A PLURALITY OF DETACHABLE COMPONENTS

Static base station structures having a plurality of detachable mobile components, systems, and methods of receiving, storing, and charging the plurality of detachable mobile components are disclosed herein. The static base station structure may be a desk or kiosk including an electronic device. The plurality of detachable mobile components may be wheeled mobile desks or kiosks, each having their own electronic device, and detachable from and independently operable from the static structure. The electronic devices of the plurality of detachable mobile components may maintain wireless communications with the electronic device of the static structure, or with the electronic device of another remote device, even when physically separated. When the detachable mobile component is no longer needed, it may be returned to a docking station within the static base station structure for storing and charging.

Workstation apparatus and method with converging treadmills

A shared workstation apparatus with converging treadmills including treadmills with centerlines that are transversely oriented towards each other at an angle, which can for example be an acute angle. The shared workstation includes a frame, a first treadmill, a second treadmill, and at least one shared work surface located above the treadmills. The orientation of the treadmills and the shared work surface allows users to share work with each other across the shared work space.

Console and console support structure

Many traditional consoles struggle with changing user needs. Many existing technical furniture and consoles are custom manufactured, but may be expensive and/or cumbersome to design and assemble. According to some embodiments, there is provided a console support structure that includes two or more leg structures horizontally spaced apart. Each leg structure includes a respective base and at least one respective vertically adjustable support mounted on the base. For each adjacent pair of leg structure, a respective elongated lateral support structure extends between and interconnects the first and second leg structures. At least one work surface may be mounted on and supported by the vertically adjustable supports of the leg structures.
