Story
Height change without electricity
Release levers allow the top to move between sitting and standing levels in 20 mm increments. The mechanism works without a power supply and permits a 15 kg load while being adjusted.
A frame that defines the workstation
The upper tubular structure surrounds the top and accepts screens. Vitra states that the frame provides a sense of enclosure even when no screen is installed.
