New for 2022: Park Desk and Knolton Storage Box

Thrilled to be sharing two more distinctive new pieces that we've just introduced to the Collection, which can be customised to specific proportions or timber preferences if required.

Designed to work in a home office and tailor-made to any client’s height, the Park Desk allows you to de-clutter your workspace with its clever storage features, and wows you with its design detailing and strong yet minimal appearance.

The Knolton is a beautifully minimal and elegant storage box made with outer casing in English Fumed Oak, Ebonised Oak ripple textured top and subtle brass detailing and hinges with the inner lined in English Cherry to contrast.

2021 Project: Customising the Conholt Desk for Olivia Outred

In July 2021 we were approached by interior designers Olivia Outred to make a custom version of the standard Conholt Desk in oak (shown above) for their private client in St John’s Wood, London.

So the custom project team comprised the interior designers Olivia Outred and their private client, and ourselves to coordinate the custom order with furniture designer-maker Tim Evershed.

Listen up...

With our TeeBeu Sit-Stand Workstation and wellbeing in our WFH lives at its core, we’re on a mission to stimulate ‘movement for your health’ as we cannot ignore the health risks associated with sedentary working and sitting down for prolonged periods.

So I was chuffed to discover this recent podcast Stand Up from the highly respected science presenter, journalist and executive producer Michael Mosley on sedentary lifestyles, prolonged sitting time and the importance of standing and movement for our health.

Innovative functionality, easy manual transition

To our knowledge, TeeBeu is the first solid timber desk and stool design that combines to create an integrated sit-stand workstation. The clever-simplicity with our TeeBeu Sit-Stand Workstation lies in the dual-purpose design of the adjustable-height stool, and its integration with the desk on which the stool is placed for stand-working. The manual transition from sitting to stand-working is simple, takes just seconds, stimulates added movement and is good exercise for varying posture throughout the day.

The ‘standard’ for desk heights doesn't suit average UK male/female heights.

In our research to inform the development of TeeBeu, we discovered that most standard desk and table heights that people work at in an office or at home are typically 73-75cm. This is an ideal height for people that are 6ft or more tall, whereas the average UK female is 5ft 3in and the average male is 5ft 9in tall. Our TeeBeu Sit-Stand Workstation has been designed and considered for people around these average heights, and that use a laptop.

Leading a sedentary WFH lifestyle is not ok

Turning a blind eye to the real health risks associated with leading a sedentary WFH lifestyle is foolish.If on average you currently sit at a desk to work for 6-7 hours per day 5 days per week, that’s 30-35 hours of an average 40 hour working week spent sitting. And this excludes sitting time every evening and at weekends.

Designed for those that fundamentally want to move more frequently in their work from home lives, Teer & Co working in collaboration with experienced furniture designer and maker Mandie Beuzeval of Beuzeval Furniture has developed TeeBeu, an ergonomically considered functional sit-stand workstation that will stimulate increased movement when desk-working from home.

New for Autumn-Winter 2021: Sit-Stand-Repeat, with TeeBeu

As we adapt to life with Covid-19, many of us will, for the foreseeable future, continue to work from home and lead a sedentary lifestyle. The home working environment is therefore going to have a dramatic impact on the health of the nation’s workers. The optimal solution to the health implications of leading a sedentary work from home lifestyle is to alternate between sitting and standing throughout the working day.

Is your Work From Home set up supporting your wellbeing?

It seems WFH really could be here to stay for many of us. This article published by Fast Company claims ‘the office as we know it is over - and that’s a good thing’. 2021 will apparently be the year we finally get to enjoy the true benefits of the remote work revolution. Investing in and surrounding ourselves with wood furnishings is one way to help create a healthier built and home environment. Bringing the outdoors in really does naturally benefit our wellbeing.
