Why did we design our standing desk converters the way we did?

We designed the S-Desk standing desk converters to improve people’s personal working environments. Not just from a practical point of view but from an aesthetic and quality point of view.

Sitting for too long in one position is well documented to be bad for your health, yet if our profession involves using a computer, it is something many of us do for hours and hours on end without even thinking about it. Sitting is easy, which lulls us mentally into a soft state where we can become easily distracted and not even realised when we start procrastinating instead of being productive.

Standing and working burns extra calories, helps fight heart disease and will improve your working focus. Through the simple act of standing at your workstation our mental attitude towards our work subtly changes and we take our tasks more seriously. The lazy slouch into a comfy office chair becomes an upright, definite and concentrated way of working instead.

Like any good physical practise it takes some time to get used to, but as your body remembers how to stand up, your focus on your physical state becomes your focus on your work. You’ll be amazed at how much you achieve.

Just remember to move though! Standing in one position constantly is no different from sitting in one position for hours, but at least when you are standing you can alternate your weight from foot to foot, stretch out easily when you need to and go for short wander when you need to think.

It is easy now to purchase office furniture from high street retailers that gets the job done, but adds nothing the style of your workspace. We designed the S-Desk to enhance your space. Each standing desk is machine cut then hand finished from sustainable Birch plywood, which feels soft to the touch and even has a wonderful smell when you bring it into your work place.

Our desks require no tools or fastenings to assemble and can be built in seconds. They are instantly height adjustable too so you can share your desk with others or quickly change your set up for different tasks.

We offer two different designs that perform the same task yet look completely different. Have a look and decide which is your favourite!

Sam is Helmm's chief designer and inventor of our S-Desks and Laptop Stands. Sam grew up working with wood in his Father's kitchen workshops but went on to study graphic design and after a few years working in London agencies set up his own graphic, exhibition and product design business in 2000. Gradually the business evolved into a digital agency but the calling to work with wood again was too strong and in 2013 Sam started designing furniture again in his spare time. In 2015 his first concept prototypes were produced and now Sam is focussing on designing amazing furniture that improves the user's wellbeing and makes a design statement in any space. Sam is husband to Kia, Helmm's marketing expert, and a devoted father. He likes to spend his spare time drawing, shooting video and photos and is a bit fanatical about bicycles.
