Design Story

When Tim Wallace was approached to create a new height-
adjustable solution which reflected desking requirements for the 21st century he immediately saw an opportunity to create
something that worked with the whole office environment.
“To me the problem wasn’t in creating a single desk, there
are plenty of examples of those,” says Tim. “The real challenge
comes when that single desk needs to be multiplied and then fitted into a space.” It was also imperative that Atlas Office Landscape didn’t jar with the other furniture in an office. Tim explains: “One of the visual distractions with height-adjustable furniture is that it inhabits two spaces; both seated and standing. So, what might be hidden when you’re sitting down, cables or the underside of the desk, for example, become instantly visible as soon as you raise the desk up.” Tim overcame this problem with a unique solution – the development of the ‘leg block’ at the top of each leg, which simultaneously houses the riser mechanism while providing support for the desk top. The ‘leg block’ and connected leg can also be rotated to give further layout possibilities.

Having realised at 18 that following his dream to be a guitarist in a rock band might be “a bit tricky”, Tim Wallace chose instead to pursue a slightly steadier career in design. Following his education at Middlesex University and the Royal College of Art, he has built an international reputation as one of the leading designers of office and healthcare furniture.
