Desk Z, UniFor

Desk Z is the result of a collaborative aim to create a sit/stand desk without using electronic actuators or crank handles. With a spring-assisted lift, the height of the desk can be easily adjusted in one frictionless movement. 

The desk has a patented spring and cam mechanism, housed within an aluminium frame, which maintains consistent tension to hold the worktop at any height. It can be adjusted quickly and efficiently by gently pulling or pushing the surface. The double-sided frame also accepts a range of materials, from acoustic fabrics to timber veneer. 

Desk Z is not tethered by a power cable, meaning it can be moved and reconfigured with ease. Workstations can be placed alongside each other, to create a longer wall through the office, or stand alone for individual working.
