运动搭脚板
Webble - Active Foot Rest

BriteObjects是一个新成立的硅谷设计公司，他致力于改善办公室体验。现在介绍的是Webblea"c，他是个搭脚器但不是让你休息。相反，他是用来让你在工作的时候活动筋骨的。除了有着这个特别的功能外，他的造型也打破常规，时尚美观。

他由三位获奖的设计师共同设计完成，他主张变通，并相信人体工学同样可以做得时尚而且有趣。“当我们注意到那些最好的搭脚板，我们发现了不管是功能还是造型上都有着巨大的创新空间”BriteObjects的创建人Steve Vassallo说到。“经过我们对搭脚板的深入研究，我们感到十分鼓舞，因为研究结果表明让坐着的人得到腿部的活动是个很有市场的理念，于是我们抛弃传统的几乎一模一样的搭脚板造型，致力于把搭脚板做得有活力能给使用者带来积极的作用”他还说到。

Webblea”c会有两个款式：Webblea”c和Webblea”c AIR。前者的表面采用普通的设计，而后者则是有弹性的网，大大提升舒适性和运动自由度。两个款式都装有轮子和专利悬挂技术，同时有自锁功能——以防你的同事拿他当滑板玩。

BriteObjects, a new Silicon Valley design firm focused on improving the office experience, introduces the Webblea”c, a new kind foot rest that isn’t about resting. Instead, the Webblea”c enables free motion that gets your legs moving while you work. Complementing its unique functionality, the Webble’s iconic shape breaks from the norm and encourages your feet to go for a ride.

Developed by three award-winning product designers, the Webblea”c embraces the concept of mobility and a belief that ergonomic can be stylish and fun. “When we looked at the best foot rests available today, we saw a huge opportunity for innovation in both function and form,” says Steve Vassallo, founder of BriteObjects. “Upon investigating the category further, we became encouraged by the research that pointed to the physiological benefits of leg activity while seated, and with this in mind, we decided to depart from the static, almost orthopedic aesthetic of most foot rests, and instead focus on the positive experiences associated with free motion and flexibility,” he adds.

The Webblea”c will be available in two versions: Webblea”c and Webblea”c AIR. The Webblea”c offers a grippy hardshell surface while the Webblea”c AIR extends the concept further with a flexible mesh membrane that offers the ultimate in comfort and free motion. Both versions ride on ultra smooth casters and a patent-pending spring suspension and self-braking mechanism to keep your office mates from zooming away with your legs’ new best friend.
