MacBook Stand Wood

WHY WE DESIGNED IT

Working long hours at a laptop can be tiring, and create a serious strain on your back and neck. When used on a desk your laptop screen is usually positioned much too low. Your neck or back inevitably need to bend. The advantage of mobility of a laptop has its trade-off.

The Yohann MacBook stand follows general recommendations for ergonomic use. The stand enables you to position the top edge of your MacBook screen level with your eyes in an elegant way. It helps you to keep your head balanced on your spine and reduces the strain on your neck and back, allowing for a more comfortable experience throughout your day.

“Use a separate keyboard and mouse so the laptop can be put on a stand and the screen opened at eye level.”

British National Health Service

“In order to prevent premature fatigue and health damages the height of the display should be adjusted in a way that it’s top edge is positioned to eye level.” 

Humboldt University Berlin

DESIGN THOUGHTS

The Yohann MacBook stand is a resolute combination of high functionality with a reduced design.

The general shape reflects its three basic functions. It is streamlined to provide the ideal elevation of your screen while providing best stability and ventilation for your MacBook in a reduced and light way. This was achieved and optimized by a structural calculation and by optically reducing its body to the minimum needed. The monolithic design sustains high stability and rigidity and a clean sculptural appearance.
Forces on the MacBook are minimized due to the even distribution along the entire width of 16 cm.

COOLING

The MacBook stand helps the two cooling mechanisms, that are used in a MacBook to work more effectively. The basic aluminium design of the Apple MacBook acts as a heat exchange between its surface and the environment, so we reduce the surface contact between your MacBook and its stand. The elevated positioning allows the MacBook surface to freely radiate and to get rid of excessive heat very efficiently. Its secondary cooling mechanism, the MacBook’s rear ventilation system remains unobstructed, so it can freely exhaust hot air with minimum effort.
