Actiu Unveils Menssula Height-Adjustable Desk Collection with Cantilever Design

architecture-design · 2026-04-03

Actiu, an office furniture brand, has introduced the Menssula series of sit-stand desks and meeting tables, featuring a cantilever design focused on modularity. The collection includes height-adjustable tables that can be raised or lowered electronically via a button, distinguishing itself with an asymmetric silhouette. According to Actiu, the key innovation is the offset placement of the electrical lift mechanism, which consolidates components into a single lateral column instead of traditional central or dual legs. This creates a cantilever effect that maximizes workspace and provides an unobstructed area under the tabletop. The tabletops, described as 'gravity-defying,' are made from durable materials like phenolic and laminated MDF, available in various finishes and patterns such as White Traffic and Fenix Black. The modular design allows configurations ranging from individual workstations to larger co-working setups. The product was featured in the Dezeen Showroom, a platform for brands to showcase new designs to a global audience. The release highlights a trend toward ergonomic and flexible office furniture solutions.
