German components, Swiss steel, made in Michigan

We Stand Behind Our Amazing Desks. We sit behind them sometimes too. Our desks components are designed by expert furniture makers in Germany, where the craft of furniture making has been built into the culture for hundreds of years. Our steel is sourced in Switzerland because the Swiss make the highest tolerance steel. We sourced unequaled materials and built these desks by hand in Michigan - a place that defines manufacturing excellence.

Everyone Works Differently

Materials Matter

Quality comes from using only the best materials. Even if it means scouring the globe. Our desk legs are forged from Swiss steel, the only steel in the world with the high tolerance required for commercial use. We use German pneumatic components, known for their world class performance. We do what it takes to create the fastest and most reliable standing desks ever made.

We love what we do

High standards make for highly satisfying work. We go after quality in everything we do – from the products that we make, to our ordering process, to shipping and delivery.

We like to think this passion shows.

Why Our Desks Stand Apart

  1. Engineered for Long-Term Durability
    Our desks are built to last, using only the finest materials, including Swiss steel and German-engineered pneumatic components. Pneumatic systems offer a low-maintenance, long-lasting alternative to motorized desks, free from the risk of motor burnout or electrical failures. With fewer parts to wear down, our desks are designed to provide smooth and reliable operation for decades.
  2. Unmatched Stability and Precision
    Whether you’re working with light accessories or heavier setups, our desks deliver unparalleled stability at any height. Features like the Kloud’s counterbalance system and the Recken’s collision detection ensure that your desk operates smoothly and safely, even under demanding conditions.
  3. Effortless Adjustability
    Our pneumatic and electric desks are designed for seamless height transitions in just seconds, allowing you to stay focused and productive. The simple, intuitive controls—such as the Kloud’s activation handle or the Recken’s programmable handset—mean no complicated setups or steep learning curves.
  4. User-Centric Design
    Every detail, from the smooth adjustment mechanisms to the customizable work surface options, is tailored to enhance your workspace experience. Whether you’re creating a home office or equipping a corporate environment, our desks deliver ergonomic comfort and aesthetic appeal.
