New for Autumn-Winter 2021: Sit-Stand-Repeat, with TeeBeu
The unique sit-stand workstation that stimulates the health-conscious and design-appreciative desk worker to lead a more active work from home life.
The proportion of people working mainly from home in the UK more than doubled in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic. Survey findings released in May 2021 show that approximately 5.6 million people in the UK, that’s 17.4% of the working population, worked mainly from home in 2020.
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.
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.
“Elegant and clever simplicity. Looks great!”

Equally important to us in tackling the sedentary lifestyle issue was; 1) the challenge of designing and developing a fully functional sit-stand workstation made almost entirely from sustainably-sourced solid timber, and 2) creating an aesthetic design solution that looks great in the home environment given that a workstation should complement your home interior and not look out of place, office-like or too functional.
Our solution to these challenges is the innovative and unique TeeBeu Sit-Stand Workstation, designed to stimulate the health-conscious and design-appreciative desk worker to lead a more active and beautiful work from home life. Innovative and unique in that TeeBeu is, to our knowledge, the first solid timber desk and height-adjustable stool design that combines to form an integrated sit-stand workstation.
Offering a timeless, elegant Scandi style timber aesthetic (shown here in Elm and Ash), TeeBeu will suit most home environments whether it is used in a study, hallway, open plan living space or garden studio. TeeBeu has an elegant distinctive symmetry as a workstation (when the stool is placed on top of the desk) in the splay and alignment of the desk legs with the stool legs. This symmetry helps create a considered piece of beautifully handcrafted and made to order furniture using sustainably-sourced FSC timbers, that works and looks good in your home.
TeeBeu is now available to purchase from our online Collection in the following options:
Sit-Stand Workstation
Integrated fixed-height Desk and adjustable-height Stool - the wellbeing option for those that wish to alternate between sitting and standing at their desk throughout the working day.

If you could be looking for a level of customisation to these standard options in our Collection, like a different timber or a marginally different size for the desk top or height, then please contact us on 07957 627052 or send an email to simon@simonteer.com to discuss your requirements.
Below is a short video demonstrating the simple transition from sitting to standing and the manual adjustment (if necessary) to the height of the stool.
