Unlike standard sit–stand desks with two sturdy legs hiding powerful machinery, Herman Miller’s Spout Sit-to-Stand table offers a more elevated aesthetic with four slim stems.

Plus, with discreet wiring beneath the tabletops and flush to the supports, the sleek — yet still stable — structure can lift up to 181 kilos with barely any noise; it’s also the first product to feature the brand’s new charging technology, Ello Power Access Solutions.

It’s available in a range of sizes, colours and finishes — from a walnut veneer top with a black base to a neutral top with an olive base and more — and can be fitted with bag hooks, integrated drawers and other accessories.
