Mechanical & Industrial Details

The Otis Steel base features exposed mechanical gearing, reinforced cast iron supports, and embossed "OTIS STEEL" branding on each base end. High-quality steel gears allow smooth height adjustment through a full 10-inch range, while iron-wheel casters echo early factory transport systems.

Inspired by the muscular gantry pivots and furnace-ladle arms of the historic Otis metalworks facility, the base celebrates visible engineering rather than hiding it — making the mechanics part of the design.

Seating & Workspace Versatility

At 60” × 36”, this desk-size configuration is ideal for dining, executive desk use, or a statement workspace. The adjustable height range allows seamless transitions between traditional desk height and elevated counter or bar-height functionality.

Industrial Heritage

Established during the U.S. Industrial Revolution, Otis Steel was a crucial part of Cleveland’s manufacturing history from 1875 to 1942. This table draws inspiration from the distinctive industrial forms of that era, combining historical influence with modern-day adjustability and mobility.

Designed in Knoxville, Tennessee and assembled in-house using a combination of sourced components and hand-finished craftsmanship to ensure lasting strength and authentic industrial character.
