Sometimes, bigger is not always better – and the new Classic Standing Desk from Omnidesk Singapore proves just that. The leading workspace brand has expanded its range of standing desks with Classic, a more compact and affordable option for users who live or work in cozier spaces, but still, with the same set of features the brand has pioneered in the space.
Worthy of its name, the Classic Desk is redesigned to feature minimalistic lines and rounded contours that gives its frame a sleek and modern silhouette, as well as a desk top made from powder coated MDF. Available in two timeless colours – black and white – the Classic can fit the aesthetic of any habitat or workspace.
Aside from being easy on the eyes, the Classic’s main draw is in its compact size. Designed for users who live in cozier spaces or snug officers, the Classic offers a compact width of just 60cm, which is about the width of a regular bath towel, and enough to sit a monitor, keyboard and mouse, while retaining the standard length options of 122cm, 153cm and 183cm.
Of course, users also have the option to fit the Classic with the regular 76cm width table top if they’d like, and this flexibility allows users to pick the perfect desk for their space and in accordance with what they need.
Long-time lovers of Omnidesk’s Wildwood Collection will also be pleased to know that the compact Wildwood table tops will soon be made available for the Classic. It is currently available in regular size.
The Classic’s steel frame is powered by the brand’s latest electric dual motor and can carry a maximum load of 130kg – which is the same load limit on the other Omnidesk range of desks, so even for a compact desk, it can house your monitor, your keyboard and desk accessories like a calendar or lamp, and maybe a shelf for books and other items comfortably.
As usual, the desk is also equipped with collision technology, which stops it from raising or lowering if there is any resistance, as well as an adjustment speed of 40mm/s – adding to its safety abilities. It also has an adjustable height range of 74cm to 121cm – this is a slightly different height range than the Omnidesk Ascent and Omnidesk Pro’s 60-125cm range.
The next big upgrade seen in the Classic is the launch of a brand new controller – a full touchscreen controller featuring four programmable memory buttons that records the exact height adjustment of your liking, and that of your individual family members who might also share the desk. The new touchscreen controller is also compatible with the Omnidesk Life App, and has previously beloved functions like power saving and child-lock.
Just like the Omnidesk Ascent, the Classic’s controller is also available in two sleek colours: black and white. The controller also comes with a USB-C Port, allowing you to use it to power gadgets, ensuring that your devices can easily be charged without another power point.
Seeing how the Classic is built for compact spaces, Omnidesk has fitted the Classic with a 990mm long built-in cable management bar and a larger grommet hole that allows for fuss-free cable management. Small spaces can’t afford to have messy wires hanging about as it’ll make the place look less spacious.
Users have the option to upgrade to the larger Advanced Cable Management Bar too if they’re handling more cables and gadgets on the desk, as well as with monitor arms, to keep your displays ‘floating’ and adjustable, to match any height configuration.
The Classic starts from S$649 and is the table of choice for anyone seeking a value-for-money desk in a smaller-sized workspace. For its incredibly compact size, affordable price and sleek design, the Classic proves that smaller can indeed be better. Plus, the compact table top means having less carbon footprint!
Interested customers can view and purchase the Classic in person at Suntec City Mall (#02-328 West Wing, Singapore 038983) or order it online on Omnidesk’s official website.
Don’t judge a book by its cover, for behind all this makeup, is a geek just like you. To simply put it, superheroes, Star Wars, Harry Potter and all things gore and creepy makes this girly girl swoon.
