Balance Collection

The Ahrend Balance Collection is a modular desk and table line that offers a solution for every work environment: from solo desks to linked workstations and meeting layouts. There are also comprehensive options for home workspaces. The collection is known for its ease of use and comfort. Environmentally-friendly manufacturing was an important precondition.

Models and layouts

The desks and tables in the Ahrend Balance Collection are available in a variety of models, from solo and duo desks to bench and corner models. We also provide extension tables and tabletops. Furthermore, the desks and tables are easily linked together. With the upholstered vertical desk panels S25 and S50, you can improve acoustics while creating visual privacy and a sense of security. The panels enhance workplace comfort and boost employee productivity.

Style and convenience

The many options in terms of tabletop materials, decors and finish colours ensure that the desks and tables can be matched to the ambiance and style of your office or home environment. The Balance Collection is also very convenient in use, thanks to the range of electrification and cabling options such as the sliding tabletop for straightforward access to the trunking. We can also fit a wireless charging point (PuK) into the tabletop, so that your phone can be charged at any time

Sustainable solution

We were mindful of the environment at the design stage for this collection. The Ahrend Balance Collection is Cradle-to-Cradle Bronze certified. The tables are primarily made of steel (easily recyclable) and finished with solvent-free powder coatings. All of the individual components are easy to repair or replace, which extends the lifecycle of the Balance desks and tables. Also, all the materials can be easily separated for reuse in our manufacturing process.

Manual fast height adjustment

Manual sit/stand fast height adjustment is a solution when electric sit/stand height adjustment is not possible, such as in the case of workstations without electricity or flexible-use desks for example.

A hand crank is common in sit/sit desks, but because of the speed of the rotation this hand crank can also be used for sit/stand desks.

The desktop is continuously height-adjustable using the hand crank (in frame) from 65 to 130 cm with a minimum of 2 to 3 cm per rotation. This type of height adjustment is available with I-leg and duo H-leg.

Revived tabletop

A Revived tabletop is an innovative, circular choice for an Ahrend table or desk. It reduces the environmental impact whilst choosing a robust material with a long life-span. Compact material has been widely used for tabletops in the past. Tabletops made of this material can last up to 30 years. In practice, they are replaced after 10 years on average and the material is lost. Our Circular Hub takes in around 5,000 used Compact tabletops every year. These are refurbished with a new top layer by an external processor. The now Revived tabletops are ready for their next life cycle. This process leads to a carbon footprint reduction of about 95%. By repeating it, we retain the value over multiple life cycles.

Lightweight tabletop

For those aiming to reduce their carbon footprint, a circular tabletop from Greengridz® is the perfect choice. This tabletop is made from a grid of HDF panels crafted from sustainable, certified wood. The panels are CARB2-certified, formaldehyde-free, and bonded with environmentally friendly PVAc D3 glue. The tabletop weighs up to 60% less than an MFC tabletop* on average. This makes transport more eco-friendly and ensures the tabletop is ergonomic to install.
