The top curves away from the sitter and rises into a low screen at the back, so the working surface is widest where the hands are and narrows where it meets the neighbouring pedestal.

That shape asks a different question of the support. Instead of four legs, a single perforated column stands on a curved foot, set inboard so the knees find nothing in their way.

The worktop is standard melamine-faced board from Finsa — an industry material, chosen because it could be cut, edged and repeated at volume without a special process. The design earns its character from the curve and the single support, not from an expensive surface.

The perforated aluminium column and the cast foot carry that top on their own. Because the column stands inboard of the front edge, the legroom is uninterrupted and two workstations can be set back to back without their supports meeting.
