Sitting at a desk eight or more hours a day can weigh down your body; the slouched-over posture that most of us sit in can lead to back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, hungched shoulders, or worse. The human body was made to move, and sitting at a desk doesn’t exactly facilitate that. That’s why Joel Heath and David Malina, an outdoor industry veteran and product designer David Malina developed The Level, a contraption that is made through hand casting, a “process [that] generates zero waste with the sand molds being recycled and excess aluminum trimmings that are placed back into the supply chain.”

According to the company, “The Level by FluidStance is a work platform that elicits subtle, constant movement below your feet to increase your range of motion and heart rate. Developed primarily as a tool for your immediate workspace, it can be used in common areas of both the home and office, or as a complement to a stand-up desk. The patent-pending design allows you to change the overall aesthetics via interchangeable top decks, floating bumpers, and base plates.”
