In the golden month of September, with osmanthus in the air, Shanghai welcomed two grand home furnishing events. The 38th Shanghai International Furniture Expo and the 22nd China International Furniture Expo were held respectively at the Shanghai Hongqiao National Exhibition and Convention Center and the Shanghai New International Expo Centre.

During the exhibitions, a large number of German Red Dot Design Award works gathered together, bringing visitors two spectacular visual feasts. Smart office furniture brands also appeared one after another, letting visitors experience the latest frontier technology in smart office furniture.

Smart office furniture has been fashionable in Europe and America for decades, and in Silicon Valley it is treated as an office splurge, in widespread use. In recent years, with the sharp rise in the number of people with sub-optimal health in China, health issues have drawn increasing attention. Standing desks, as a completely new way of working, have gradually spread from new internet companies in the United States to China.

Several years ago the social network company Facebook began standing-office work. Employees could adjust the desk height themselves and sit on the matching stool when tired of standing. Google later included such desks in its wellness programme. In China, well-known companies such as Alipay and DJI were among the first to introduce height-adjustable desks into their offices, opening a new "standing office" model.

Imagine having a desk whose height you can adjust at will, switching freely between working positions. Tired of sitting, stand for a while; tired of standing, sit for a while; and when worn out, walk around the desk, listen to music and do some exercise. Work and fitness no longer conflict. Say goodbye to aching backs and cramped legs, and feel more energetic every day at work - who would still want to hand in the resignation letter saying "the world is so big, I want to go and see it"?

During the exhibitions, many traditional office furniture brands launched their own height-adjustable desk products, fully demonstrating the strong momentum of the domestic height-adjustable desk market. Some specialist smart office furniture brands even launched electric height-adjustable desks with dazzling features and a strong technological feel, delighting visitors.

Besides a leading overall solution for height control, this desk also embeds an Intel high-performance Curie chip, and on the basis of that chip an intelligent assistant designed for office scenarios has been developed, bringing users a cutting-edge, comfortable working experience.

Human-centred infrared sensing and voice control enable smart interaction: users can adjust the desk height through gestures or voice commands in true geek fashion. A smart reminder system is also fitted, so that every hour the desktop gently vibrates to remind the user to stand up and stretch. It also calculates the user's exercise data and physical condition in real time and shows it on the desktop.
