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.
