The XTable by KiBiSi is a height adjustable desk for those that like to keep active. Instead of a lazy electronically activated mechanism, users have to manually wind the built in handle to adjust the height of the table.
XTable is a height adjustable desk by KiBiSi that accommodates multiple working positions and daily reshuffling.
The XTable uses a manual crank mechanism instead of electricity, thereby saving energy and keeping users active. All technical features are cleverly integrated into the table top.
The built in mechanism is a century old design that's used for carjacks, ironing boards and other everyday tools. To use the mechanism for an office desk marks a radical redesign for this traditional piece of office furniture. XTable is designed with an optional storage solution for office supplies and other belongings.
