Three high-tech standing desks that look good

Stir Kinetic Desk F1

The Stir F1 is all hardwood, brushed metal and slick glass, with a clean workspace that packs in a lot of gizmos. You actually have a profile within the desk's software — yes, this desk has software — and it learns your standing and sitting habits over time, feeds that data to your Fitbit over the Bluetooth connection and has WiFi for receiving automatic software updates. Everything is operated by a touchscreen. It's total overkill in the best way. (Rs. 2,78,380 approx)

EvoDesk

The EvoDesk is less a single product and more a platform. You can mix and match different coloured frames, optional trays and monitor arms, va r ious desktop materials, before finishing it out with an integrated set of Harman Kardon speakers to create the desk fit just for you. One of the best add-ons is a $49 (Rs. 3,000 approx) programmable adjuster that will move the desk to four preset-height positions. There's also a treadmi ll option (Rs. 60,000 approx) , but save your pennies and just join a gym. (From Rs. 39,790 approx)



La Boite Concept + CC LAB LD120

It's a speaker. No, wait, it's a desk. The LD120 packs a sevenspeaker 2.1 sound system into a desktop, mounts that on lacquered legs, covers it in leather, and encourages you to plonk your laptop right on top when you need to get something done. There's a USB cord, as well as standard headphone jack and RCA for plugging into the onboard sound card, so you get every bit of quality out of those high-quality music files on your laptop. (Or you could just stream Apple Music). Who knows, having a desk you like using might even get you to work harder. (Rs. 1,00,273 + shipping).
