Designers Jamie Hoyle and Katherine Mathew from Koda Studios are the minds behind the latest Croft Sit-Stand Desk, which is exactly as the namesake describes. The Yorkshire-based furniture studio creates a height-adjustable desk that is suitable for home offices. It has a sleek design language and the duo drew inspiration from traditional writing desks when creating the Croft.
Additionally, there is also an incorporated touch-screen console that enables control for users to change the height to seated from standing and vice versa. Koda explains "This walnut design is defined by statement bold lines and sleek angles. Boasting plenty of storage, the desk has a geometric profile with angled storage compartments that are perfect for keeping loose stationery and filing in place." Hoyle continues, "We draw inspiration for our custom furniture designs from the artistry of interior design and architecture."
