Overview

The MarinaMantra Flow Desk was designed to support a wider range of working postures typical sit-stand desks. It's unique height adjustment mechanism allows users to move quickly between floor sitting, seated desk height and standing, and encouraging regular changes in work position throughout the day.

The design takes inspiration from the aesthetics of sports equipment and yoga poses to create a sit stand mechanism that folds rather than telescopes up & down. While the desk is in motion, the striking articulation of the legs immediately grabs a users attention; but while the desk is still, the soft & rounded design details fade into the background so you can focus on your work.

Design process

Circ became involved in the project very early on to develop a design strategy and a product direction for the brand. Once the movement concept was established, we worked closely with MarinaMantra's leading team of engineers to develop the mechanism and integrate it seamlessly into the tabletop.

The desk also comes with a wide range of accessories and integrated features to keep desks organized and clutter to a minimum, including integrated power, cable storage & organizing, and a monitor riser.
