An elegant, expansive workplace.

DUO HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE DUAL WORKSTATIONS

24 back-to-back Duo workstations by Lavoro were specified for this beautiful workspace for a Global Consultancy Firm in Finsbury Square, London.

Loaded with full cable management, privacy screens and twin monitor arms, the Duos feel complete. Creating a look to complement the clean design of the space.

The rustic Anthracite Sherman Oak desktops, with their authentic deep grain texture, add depth and character, perfectly contrasting the surrounding light wood elements.

The finer details.

Looking at a desk, you don’t want to see ugly cables. Or any more screws than necessary. Thanks to their sleek profiles, and the cable management products designed to fit seamlessly with them, the workstations here help keep the refined look of the space.

Having to break the news to your client that there’s a 16 week project delay is never fun. The plumbing is complete, the lights are on, the team is ready to rock and your client is awaiting WELL certification, but the sit-stand desks are nowhere to be seen. The supply chain unhinged those plans – awkward position to be in isn’t it.

Steel supply chain issues caused chaos across the design and build industry in the last couple of years. Brexit, the pandemic, HGV driver shortages, and the war in Ukraine have obviously had a detrimental effect. So, how has Lavoro stayed a step ahead with a continuous supply of premium quality steel frames and components for our height adjustable desk solutions?

1. Made and manufactured in Sweden and the UK

An interesting article by Work While Walking shows consumer impact in the USA, highlighting price and quality as the issues of cheap imports. Staying true to our values, our superior quality, elegant and functional height adjustable desks are made and manufactured in the UK and Sweden. This allows us to be unreliant on complicated logistics and long lead times in the global freighting of poor quality imported raw materials. 

Desk Frame Manufacture
  • Lavoro uses 25% recycled and local steel, electronic components and motors from Europe and UK. We also create metal-to-metal fixings from our own specialist CNC machinery which makes bespoke easy – now there’s a change!
  • Manufacturing, sourcing and keeping it ‘’local’’ allows for 100% traceability and consistency through our supply chain
  • Building strong relationships with people in the same time zone ensures accessibility and close communication at all times

2. Consistent local supply and rapid turn around

Just won a project with a short lead time but the supply chain broke the promises you made to your client? 

These inconsistencies make it difficult to plan projects, provide accurate timescales and build trusting relationships with your client. Delivering your products on time shouldn’t be that hard, even with the current issues. So, rather than find yourself in a shiny new office without a desk, Lavoro can provide a continuous supply of height adjustable desks every time because we are the people who make the desks and fit them.

  • Having a huge warehouse allows us to hold our most popular desks in stock – 24 hour delivery sounds pretty good right now doesn’t it?
  • Bespoke projects can be turned around in as little as 6 weeks rather than the often quoted 16 – we’ve also done it in less than 2!
  • Local manufacturing and assembly of our products, sourcing of materials and keeping a constant supply in-house, means shorter lead times and rapid turn arounds
