Save Your Office Furniture from Crumbs

POOLE, England, August 19, 2010 - Sometimes an invention comes up and you can't help but wonder, "Why
didn't I think of that?"

Have you ever been sitting at your desk and munching your way through
your lunch, only to find yourself later in the afternoon manically shaking
your keyboard upside down to dislodge the crumbs? Or maybe you've even taken
the Hoover to it, only to then have to take the Hoover apart minutes later to
retrieve keys that have been accidentally sucked up?

Well, before you head down to the basement to create a solution to this
problem, you're too late, Kong Duck-young has beaten you to it! The Korean
designer from office furniture (www.btoffice.com/) maker 'Steelcase
Inc' has created a shelf designed to sit above your keyboard, giving you the
perfect resting place for your coffee and sandwich, whilst still allowing you
to reach the keys effectively. With around 75% of office workers choosing to
opt for desk-dining, as opposed to sitting down to a meal out of the office,
this creation is sure to interest many crumb-conscious workers.

By creating a space within the office away from people's desks, some
bosses offer an alternative to resorting to the keyboard tray. The Energy
Project (www.theenergyproject.com/takebackyourlunch) has recently
launched, 'Take Back Your Lunch', a project encouraging workers to take their
lunch away from their computer screens. Studies have shown that taking time
away from your desk, or even your office altogether, can help workers come
back more refreshed, focused and ready for the later part of the day.

A simple and easy first step could be offering your workers a coffee
table and chairs away from the main office area, why not take a look at BT
Office Furniture's
(www.btoffice.com/reception-furniture/coffee-tables/wood/) range of
wood and glass coffee tables? This will allow workers a small sanctuary away
from their work where they can take a few minutes out and recharge their
batteries, allowing for a more energetic and enthused afternoon.

It seems though, with these trends of munching in front of our monitors
increasing, your employees may take a little convincing to break the ties
with their desks. So, until we learn to escape for an hour around midday and
find a nice bench to sit on, it seems we should all give in and buy Kong
Duck-young's keyboard tray and save the Hoover for items below the desktop!
