Category:Desks Category:Ergonomics A floor desk is a type of low-height desk designed to be used while seated on the floor, typically without the use of a chair. Originating in East Asian cultures such as Japan and Korea, floor desks are traditionally paired with tatami mats, cushions, or floor chairs. They are often used in environments where space-saving and minimalism are important.

Modern usage

edit

While floor desks are rooted in tradition, they have gained popularity in modern minimalist and small-space living. They are favored by individuals who prefer a grounded seating position or who are inspired by Asian interior design. Additionally, they are often used in meditation spaces, creative workspaces, and for gaming.

Using a floor desk can promote flexibility and posture awareness, but it may also present challenges for those unaccustomed to prolonged floor sitting.[1]. Ergonomic cushions or floor chairs with back support (Zaisu) are often recommended to reduce strain on the lower back and knees.
