Office desk of the future? New design shows we could all work lying down

The Altwork Station's high-tech design allows people to repel talkative co-workers in the "focus" position... or even have a little snooze

This unique dentist chair-like device could be the office desk of the future.

Its high-tech design allows people to repel talkative co-workers in the "focus" position... or even have a little lie down after lunch.

The comfy body-length seat swivels into the most comfortable positions and your keyboard, monitor and supplementary laptop all follow it - held in place by magnets.

The Altwork Station, made in the leafy glades of Sonoma County, California, costs about £3,800 but is presently going for an only marginally more reasonable £2,550.

The company's YouTube advert, which was quickly viewed more than 40,000 times, laments the fact that while cars, phones, computers, air travel and many other things have advanced the humble office environment is like something from the 1800s.
