A Wellington-based former physiotherapist turned entrepreneur has been hailed for making "the world's healthiest desk". Bart De Vries' attractive and easily adjustable birchwood Limber desks help create a work space where he says we can move more - and possibly live longer. Bart is on a mission with his new company Limber to prevent back pain, having honed his experience as a professional hockey player and his time working as a physio with professional sports people into furniture that keeps us on the move.
