Neo Workstation

Neo’s height adjustability – which varies between 620-1220mm – encourages movement throughout the work day. This level of flexibility promotes physical wellness, reducing the negative impact of sedentary behaviours at work. By encouraging regular movement, Neo supports a healthier and more comfortable way of working.

The sit/stand nature of Neo supports the diverse working styles within the workplace, encouraging employees to work in the way that best facilitates their productivity.

Neo boasts minimal understructure, allowing for plenty of legroom or storage space.

With a maximum lift capacity of 120kg, Neo is strong and catered to a wide range of industries’ desking requirements. The desktop moves steadily and swiftly at a speed of 40mm/sec while adding virtually no sound to the workplace.

In 2008, Schiavello developed Krossi, the first Australian designed sit/stand workstation. Krossi was designed in response to research that indicated that movement in the office positively contributes to employees’ sense of peace, renewal and attention spans. However, the modern workload requires more time in front of a computer and less physical activity than ever. In fact, the average worker spends 80 percent of their work hours sitting, and it is estimated that people spend around 80,000 hours (or nine years) seated over the course of their working life.

Based on the success of the Krossi design, Schiavello sought to add an entry-level sit/stand workstation with similar capabilities to its product range. With tubular legs that reflect those of Krossi’s, in addition to a minimal understructure and height adjustability, Neo fills the market gap for a quality made, sophisticated and entry-level sit/stand desk.

The Schiavello Design Studio is made up of a number of talented product designers and engineers. The studio has been the driving force behind a number of Schiavello’s most successful designs, including Krossi in 2013, the first Australian made and designed sit-stand desk, and the pioneering Climate workplace system in 2010, still one of the most malleable products of its kind.
