Construction

The configured version combines a melamine table top, a powder-coated base and a cable tray made from polyester fleece. A bracket system accepts freely positioned accessories including lamp holders, monitor arms and screens, while cable channels and electrification components organise wiring.

Specifications

The representative sit-stand table has a 1400 × 700 mm top. Its vertical travel runs between 650 and 1250 mm, with the upper position stored as the overall height.

A workstation that changes scale

Vitra developed Tyde 2 as a system that can move between concentrated individual work, paired clusters, team platforms and meetings. The same family supports fixed-height and sit-stand arrangements, allowing the table layout to change without abandoning a consistent visual vocabulary.

Bouroullec details

Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec gave Tyde 2 clean lines and rounded contours. Its technical functions are organised around cable management and a bracket system, while the polyester-fleece cable tray is described by Vitra as helping to reduce noise.
