Mechanical & Industrial Details

The Otis Steel base features exposed mechanical gearing, reinforced cast iron supports, and embossed "OTIS STEEL" branding on each base end. High-quality steel gears allow smooth height adjustment through a full 10-inch range, while iron-wheel casters echo early factory transport systems.

Inspired by the muscular gantry pivots and furnace-ladle arms of the historic Otis metalworks facility, the base celebrates visible engineering rather than hiding it — making the mechanics part of the design.

Workspace Versatility

At 60” × 36”, this desk configuration is ideal for executive workspaces, home offices, and creative studios. The adjustable height range allows seamless transitions between traditional seated desk height (30”) and standing ergonomic work (up to 40”).

Industrial Heritage

Established during the U.S. Industrial Revolution, Otis Steel was a crucial part of Cleveland’s manufacturing history from 1875 to 1942. This table draws inspiration from the distinctive industrial forms of that era, combining historical influence with modern-day adjustability and mobility.

Designed in Knoxville, Tennessee and assembled in-house using a combination of sourced components and hand-finished craftsmanship to ensure lasting strength and authentic industrial character.
