ROUMO Brand Story

For twenty years, I designed screens at CJENM. Every day, sitting at my desk, reviewing thousands of products, building thousands of interfaces. Not once did it cross my mind that my desk didn't fit my body.

It took ten years for the pain to show up. Stiff shoulders. An aching back. Bad habits I never noticed — crossed legs, sitting lopsided — had quietly taken root. I only saw the problem after it hurt.

I looked for a footrest. What I found were just flat boards. Nothing professional. Nothing adjustable. Nothing that stayed where you put it. The entire market was stuck at "foot slab."

So I decided to build something better.

I went back to the root cause. Why do people keep sitting badly? The answer was surprisingly simple: there's nowhere for your legs to rest. Every desk is 72cm tall, but every body is different. No matter how good your chair is, if your legs hang in the air, your body finds its own unstable positions.

Your chair only supports your upper body. Nobody was taking care of the legs. Your chair is only half.

ROUMO doesn't force good posture. Instead, we designed a place for your legs to land — light enough to reposition with your foot, adjustable to 81 height-and-angle combinations with a single knob, no tools needed. Your body finds its comfort naturally.

We call this Behavioral Design. Just place it. Your body knows the rest.

Five years after launch, the top 10 footrests in Korea all switched to a two-step structure. ROUMO created a genre.

ROUMO — routine and more.

A small difference under your desk that changes your whole day. Making a healthy desk easy.
