Counterpoise Workstation

Commission from Rs. 1,45,000 Made-to-order studio price · delivery quoted to destination

Counterpoise is a hand-cranked sit–stand desk. One removable crank drives both lifting columns through a mechanical cross-shaft; there is no motor, battery or mains connection. The 1200 mm centre top accepts two 250 mm leaves, extending the working width to 1700 mm. A rear rail carries the proposed monitor arm, pen cup, light and plant holder without consuming the work surface.

The desk is a pre-production proposal. Before any order enters production, the studio will prototype the lift, verify the synchronising shaft, finger clearances, load capacity, stability, leaf connections and accessory rail. Accessories are specified individually so the workstation is useful rather than decorative.

Commission configurator

Configure a commission

Step 1 / 4
01 / Configuration

Select the scale of the work.

Each option establishes the studio price for the work. Final dimensions, materials and delivery scope are confirmed before production.

Scale configuration
02 / Material and specification

Set the physical direction.

Finish, placement and service choices shape the proposal. Every interface is resolved before the work enters production.

03 / Site and delivery

Define the room and route.

Freight is calculated from the approved module and crate plan, destination, access, insurance and installation scope.

04 / Studio review

Send a commission brief.

The studio will review feasibility, confirm the work price and prepare the material, delivery and installation scope.

Submitting this brief does not place an order or collect payment. The displayed amount is the base work price. After review, the studio issues a Shopify Draft Order identifying the approved product, deposit or payment terms, taxes, packing, insured freight, installation and any site-specific development.

Delivery

Custom crating, insured freight and installation quoted to destination

Lead time

Indicative 12–16 weeks after prototype sign-off and finish approval.
