A-Frame Trestle Desk — Anderssen & Voll for Hörreds

Work desk designed by Norwegian duo Anderssen & Voll for Swedish manufacturer Hörreds. Its A-shaped structure, inspired by architects' trestles, combines Scandinavian constructive rigour with the warmth of solid wood. Available in fixed or electric sit-stand versions.

Sit-stand: a desk that adapts to you

In its electric version, the A-Frame adjusts from 70 to 120 cm via a silent mechanism. The control pad, either embedded in the top or discreetly fixed under the desk, preserves the design's clean lines. Alternating between sitting and standing throughout the day reduces fatigue and improves concentration.

Construction

Base in European solid oak or ash, assembled in an A-geometry that ensures stability and visual lightness. Lacquered metal elements in white (RAL 9016) or black (RAL 9005) coordinated with the wooden legs. 19 mm MDF top, straight edge, 0 mm corner radius.
