Read MoreOur Scandi style solid timber TeeBeu Desk is now available in two sizes. The compact Standard size desk (shown in these photos), which is offered with our Sit-Stand Workstation or as a standalone Desk, measures up at W 85cm, D 60cm, H 68cm. Our new Large desk (see line drawing) is wider for those with that bit more space in their WFH lives, and measures W 120cm, D 60cm, H 68cm.
Read MoreIn July 2021 we were approached by interior designers Olivia Outred to make a custom version of the standard Conholt Desk in oak (shown above) for their private client in St John’s Wood, London.
So the custom project team comprised the interior designers Olivia Outred and their private client, and ourselves to coordinate the custom order with furniture designer-maker Tim Evershed.
Read MoreWith our TeeBeu Sit-Stand Workstation and wellbeing in our WFH lives at its core, we’re on a mission to stimulate ‘movement for your health’ as we cannot ignore the health risks associated with sedentary working and sitting down for prolonged periods.
So I was chuffed to discover this recent podcast Stand Up from the highly respected science presenter, journalist and executive producer Michael Mosley on sedentary lifestyles, prolonged sitting time and the importance of standing and movement for our health.
Read MoreTo our knowledge, TeeBeu is the first solid timber desk and stool design that combines to create an integrated sit-stand workstation. The clever-simplicity with our TeeBeu Sit-Stand Workstation lies in the dual-purpose design of the adjustable-height stool, and its integration with the desk on which the stool is placed for stand-working. The manual transition from sitting to stand-working is simple, takes just seconds, stimulates added movement and is good exercise for varying posture throughout the day.
Read MoreWith COP26 in full swing, the heightened focus we are seeing and critical challenges we face on the climate crisis could not be clearer. In our personal and business lives we must play our part.
Our first own-brand product - the TeeBeu Sit-Stand Workstation - fully conforms with our Buy Well, Buy Less philosophy of encouraging people to invest in timeless, high quality, sustainably-sourced and responsibly made timber and soft furnishings that endure. Offering a timeless, elegant Scandi style timber aesthetic unlike some metal/plastic sit-stand desks and chairs, TeeBeu will suit most home environments whether it is used in a study, hallway, open plan living space or garden studio.
Read MoreTeeBeu is beautifully designed, skilfully handcrafted and made-to-order in the UK using sustainably-sourced FSC timbers. Offering a timeless, elegant Scandi style timber aesthetic unlike some metal/plastic sit-stand desks and chairs, TeeBeu will suit most home environments whether it is used in a study, hallway, open plan living space or garden studio. Compact in size and unintrusive in your home, TeeBeu can be used in areas where there is limited space.
Read MoreIn our research to inform the development of TeeBeu, we discovered that most standard desk and table heights that people work at in an office or at home are typically 73-75cm. This is an ideal height for people that are 6ft or more tall, whereas the average UK female is 5ft 3in and the average male is 5ft 9in tall. Our TeeBeu Sit-Stand Workstation has been designed and considered for people around these average heights, and that use a laptop.
Read MoreTurning a blind eye to the real health risks associated with leading a sedentary WFH lifestyle is foolish.If on average you currently sit at a desk to work for 6-7 hours per day 5 days per week, that’s 30-35 hours of an average 40 hour working week spent sitting. And this excludes sitting time every evening and at weekends.
Designed for those that fundamentally want to move more frequently in their work from home lives, Teer & Co working in collaboration with experienced furniture designer and maker Mandie Beuzeval of Beuzeval Furniture has developed TeeBeu, an ergonomically considered functional sit-stand workstation that will stimulate increased movement when desk-working from home.
Read MoreAs we adapt to life with Covid-19, many of us will, for the foreseeable future, continue to work from home and lead a sedentary lifestyle. The home working environment is therefore going to have a dramatic impact on the health of the nation’s workers. The optimal solution to the health implications of leading a sedentary work from home lifestyle is to alternate between sitting and standing throughout the working day.
