• At the bottom of the gallery are numbered hardwood walnut veneer pieces (our base level standard), finished with a semi-gloss lacquer. For a custom color it’s an extra $395 - there’s a separate listing in the shop to add this

• For a custom piece, pick the color you like best, and on which species of wood: walnut or rustic white oak hardwood veneers. You can see examples of each at the top of the gallery. Walnut is a classic and the rustic oak has knots and a reclaimed vibe. We sand, seal and finish with lacquer (matte/satin/semi-gloss/gloss), or use tinted Rubio Monocoat hardwax oil in various colors (matte-only finish), your choice

Some backstory .. I am a music producer and needed a large desk to comfortably create at and organize all my gear. Plus years of being hunched over staring at a screen was killing my back 😖 Everything I looked at was pretty ugly (to me) and didn’t have the aesthetic I wanted, nor the features. So I designed and built my own using beautiful wood and an organic modernist feel. This is not a Chinese, factory-made desk. Each are handmade, one at a time. After countless fellow producers asked me to build one for them, I decided to start a studio furniture business in Los Angeles.

Our mission is to combine cutting-edge functionality with timeless beauty and design. To bring nature into the studio and create a desk that’s a work of art unto itself 🌿 .. Something inspiring to help realize your full potential. Our desks maximize your creative output. Each one is unique and one of a kind, built to fit your specs, your gear, your workflow.

Being a producer myself, I understand what we need. Lots of options are available so you get exactly what you want, and everything is customizable. It’s like buying a suit .. you’ll need to tailor it to fit your body, as no two are the same. We will have very thorough conversations to ensure everything is dialed in.

House your outboard gear for easy access in 1-4U racks. Generally we do 3/4U for the ends. 4U height puts the speaker tops at 8". The shelf is completely customizable and can be straight across at various heights (1-4U), have a dropped middle (1-3U) with higher ends for speakers, angle the speaker ends inward to mix position (+$150) or have the shelf middle cut out completely for your screen to sit directly on the tabletop. Then you can have loose speaker ends/racks which you can angle as you please.

I recommend a 1-3U height for the middle shelf (1-2U being optimal, 2U puts the shelf at 4 3/8” up - measure it, put your screen base that high and see if that works for you). I don’t generally recommend 4U in the middle, as the viewing angle is often too high: not ideal to be looking up at your screen for extended periods of time. Your neck will thank me.

If you have 2 monitors + speakers then you’ll either want a straight shelf across, or if wanting the dropped middle to lower the screens, have the drop be only 1U difference from the ends. For example - 3U ends/2U middle. That way the bases of your screens will raise them up enough so that the outer bottom ends of each screen will go OVER into the raised speaker area. If the difference in heights is too much, say 4U ends/2U middle , it’ll be too much to do that, unless you have them both on arms and bring them forward and down in front of the middle shelf.

If using a clamp/arm let us know and we’ll cut out a semi-circle in the back of the middle shelf so the pole has space to come through.

Also if you don’t have much rack gear the speaker ends don’t have to be the full 22.5” across like we normally do. They can be half that to accommodate a smaller speaker standing vertically, and will open the middle up more.

And lastly, if going with the angled speaker ends, the middle shelf will be dropped (depth 9.5”) and you have a choice of another rack dead center with two little channels on each side to run cables through, or double middle racks (1-2U only), or just a center post with two bigger open bays to each side of it.

Choose a 12”- 14” shelf depth. The smaller the depth the more desktop space in front of you. Also rack gear might hang off the back with a 12” deep shelf, but if it’s up against a wall and you don’t care and would rather have more desk real estate, go with 12”. The shelf angles off the back mimicking the front angle so in general if trying to figure out how much space you will have in front of you it's about 20".

Add a matching wood ($200) or metal rack drawer (Amazon) for odds and ends. Or add a cover plate with soft close hinges to hide gear ($150). Stick an LED strip on the back and control the backlighting with your iPhone.

Our custom-designed and manufactured 46” cable management tray attaches to the back underside and can run all your cables and house multiple power strips: makes for a clean look without seeing all the wires hanging down the back. Cable clips can be added to separate power from audio and minimize hum. Pass-through holes allow you to route cables onto the tray. Run one power cable out of it to the wall. Your OCD remains in check :)

Position yourself to channel your best ideas. We firmly believe having a cutting-edge & beautiful studio desk will help you capture inspiration when it comes. Investing in yourself and your workstation is truly one of the best and most important decisions you can make! It makes us happy to help creators make art. Every customer becomes part of our extended family. We put in long hours at the shop, but it’s worth it!

THANK YOU for supporting a U.S. small business during these uncertain times! Your support allows us to operate and employ musicians to do honest work. It’s not glamorous but it’s humble and satisfying. Again, thank you 🙏

WOODEN DRAWER +$200
• 2-4U

** Turnaround time is 2-6 weeks depending on existing orders

** if on a budget you can buy your own sit/stand base from Fully, Autonomous, Uplift etc and save some $$ off the more expensive sit/stand bases we exclusively use (iMovr). I don’t 100% recommend other base manufacturers due to real0-world issues we've experienced, but you’re free to roll the dice. You get what you pay for with these bases, especially when holding up a lot of weight over time. If going that route, you'll want to order a C-frame, not a T-frame.

Hope to hear from you!
