Another Dimension: Introducing Tailoring

We want you to be able to tailor the Opendesk design of your choice to perfectly suit your space.

Need the Studio Desk 10cm shorter to fit that nook? No problem. Want the Lean Desk in a different size or the Lift Standing Desk big enough for two? Sure. On-the-fly dimension changes are one of the perks of on-demand manufacturing over mass production - you can tweak, edit, elongate and shorten the design as you see fit.

A platform like Opendesk is built for this. So we’ve been testing out on-demand dimension changes for certain Opendesk designs over the past few months. This means furniture that’s tailored for individual workplaces - fitted perfectly for you!

We’re now ready to share this with everyone. And the best news? To celebrate, we’re going to be making these mini-customisations for no extra charge on all orders this November.


How does it work?

We’re able to tailor our products to suit your needs by customising the dimensional variables using our parametric 3D models. We then seamlessly export the model into customised cutting files and issue them to your local maker through our marketplace model. You would now have individual versions of our designs, tailored to suit your needs, stored in our library and version controlled - all ready for worldwide distribution and future repeat orders.

There are six Opendesk designs that can be tailored just for you: the Lean Desk, the Team Desk, the Lift Standing Desk, the Collaboration Table, the Unit Table and the Studio Desk. A tailoring request can be made via the product page:

The Lift Standing Desk
