Omnidesk Ascent Standing Desk (Black Ash) – Review
If there's anything that the pandemic has taught us, it's that you don't have to be seated at your desk while working. From standing while typing, to walking around while taking a call, to walking on the spot as you reply to emails – more people are learning that a desk and a chair are not always the best combination for every workspace. And those who do so, not seated for eight extended hours at their office or home desk set-ups, will no longer feel the constant back and body aches faced after a long day of work. Indeed, today's health-conscious users demand more than just makeshift desk arrangements like dining tables or even traditional office furniture – they want a desk that's not only sturdy enough to handle even the most complex rigs, but one that can adjust to suit different postures too. That's where smart desks come in, as these flexible workstations are capable of seamlessly switching between sitting and standing positions at the push of a button. And for those looking for the best of the best, Singaporean SME Omnidesk is pulling out all the stops with its Ascent flagship standing desk, providing all the features modern users desire along with notable updates to its Omnidesk Pro lineup. At first glance, the Ascent essentially functions identically to the Pro, inheriting all its major features, like a mechanised self-raising and lowering mechanism that comes with anti-collision, in case the young ones happen to run under an elevated desk, or if there's an obstruction preventing the table from being raised to chest level. The Ascent uses smart detection to absorb impact from above or below and adjust accordingly when faced with obstacles, preventing minor accidents from movable furniture. Coupled with its handy cable management system and cutout on the desktop to flush those unsightly cables, the Ascent can be used to configure any set-up, from multiple screens across the table in your home, to that minimalist centrepiece for your office cubicle. The magic lies in the Ascent's finer details. For starters, it packs in Omnidesk's latest Gen 3 dual motor in its steel frame columns, providing a 60mm/s elevation speed compared to the 43mm/s of the Pro. The desk's maximum adjustable height range also differs slightly, at 63.7 to 127cm over the Pro's 60 to 125cm. Perhaps the Ascent's most obvious visual difference lies in its new OLED controller, featuring not only larger tactile keys for its height adjustment and four programmable memory buttons, but also customisable RGB lighting with six colour settings available. Just like on the Pro, there's also a handy USB-A port located on the side of the controller for easy charging of a user's devices. The changes to its controller aren't just limited to aesthetics, however, as the Ascent now features an integrated Bluetooth app, Omnidesk Life, which can not only adjust the height of the desk remotely with up to nine memory profiles, but also features a bunch of handy features like tracking sitting and standing activity, adjusting the anti-collision feature's sensitivity, or building a custom height limit. These improvements might seem small on the surface, but when spending most of your time sitting or standing behind a desk, having a hands-free way to adjust the height on the fly and quicker adjustment time goes a long way in making the user experience as comfortable and hassle-free as possible. Aesthetics wise, most Omnidesk tables look the same from afar, but up close, you notice how it expertly blends simplicity with functionality, with tabletops of different compositions, crafted from high-grade MDF (medium-density fibre) wood that's not only lightweight but durable to boot, offering a wide range of colourways including black, white, pink and bamboo. For those who desire a more premium finish, Omnidesk also offers its Wildwood collection alongside its new limited edition Black Ash option, a pleasingly clean aesthetic with a distinct wood grain. To suit each individual's work space, the Ascent comes in three sizes: Small (122 x 76cm), Large (153 x 76cm) and XL (183 x 76cm). Using its new Frame-X Technology in its rounded leg frames, the desk remained sturdy even at its maximum height, and can support up to 130kg of weight despite the slim tabletop. To customise the desk for further functionality, Omnidesk also provides optional add-ons like advanced cable management options, mountable power bricks or castors for easy desk adjustment. For those worried about the desk's setup process, Omnidesk promises easy assembly between 15 to 30 minutes, but those who are not confident about building it on their own can always opt for on-site assembly by the Omnidesk team, although this is subject to additional assembly fees. With prices starting at S$1,279 for the regular colourways and S$1,528 for the limited edition Black Ash variant, the Omnidesk Ascent standing desk elevates (pun intended) the already impressive standards set by its predecessors, introducing subtle but effective enhancements for those who want the most out of their smart desk setups. Summary Very much ascending like its namesake, the Omnidesk Ascent marks the next step in the company's innovations, and a worthwhile investment for those looking for a premium standing desk that's equal parts durable and aesthetically pleasing. 9.3/10 Aesthetics - 9/10 Build Quality - 9.5/10 Performance - 9.5/10 Value - 9/10 Geek Satisfaction - 9.5/10 Kevin is a reformed PC Master Race gamer with a penchant for franchise 'duds' like Darksiders III and Dead Space 3 .

WORKSPACE an ‘ideal platform' to connect with businesses to reimagine their workplaces
Ergonomic chairs, soundproof pods, and rotatable models all on show at three-day exhibition, which runs until today at Dubai World Trade Centre Dubai, UAE: Now in its 22nd year, WORKSPACE, the Middle East and North Africa's premier exhibition for workspace design, office interiors, and workplace technology, is championing the industry's latest product launches this week, with engaging panel discussions centred around Artificial Intelligence, employee wellbeing, and human-centric social places at work. The three-day show is running at Dubai World Trade Centre until today (May 29). WORKSPACE is co-located alongside The Hotel Show, INDEX, and HITEC, with organizers dmg events expecting 35,000 visitors and welcoming more than 900 exhibitors from 48 countries. This year, WORKSPACE features exhibitors from across the USA, Germany, Italy, UAE, Türkiye, and South Korea, all of which are showcasing products, including office technology, wellness solutions, and office interiors, with key exhibitors including Haworth, Steelcase, Interstuhl, LAS, Dauphin, Alea, Frezza, Motif Interiors, Treelocate, and Diemme. Haworth, which focuses on designing functional, high-performance spaces that support evolving workplace needs, is showcasing new-to-market solutions that touch on a number of workplace design trends. 'We're pleased to return this year to showcase some of our latest innovations in workspace design,' said Deepak TD, Area Manager – Business Development, Middle East and Africa, at Haworth. 'These solutions reflect Haworth's global legacy of performance, sustainability, and user-centric design. From the Fern Digital Knit, crafted from 100 per cent recycled polyester yarn, to the Breck chair's weight-activated ergonomic support, each product is developed with comfort, flexibility, and the modern workplace in mind.' With privacy becoming increasingly important in larger office spaces, soundproof meeting pods have gained popularity in recent years. 'We've seen growing interest in private meeting spaces that blend in with wider design choices, which is why we are also showcasing our 'BuzziNest Office' privacy booth, as well as our 'YourPlace Echo' for agile environments and 'Hush Free' pods that support hybrid collaboration,' he added. Making its debut at WORKSPACE this year is leading UAE-based furniture wholesaler Arabian Oasis General Trading (AOGT). Speaking on their first participation, Jufeeth Mohammed, Managing Director of AOGT, said: 'WORKSPACE offers an ideal platform to connect with businesses looking to reimagine their spaces and explore more responsive, long-term office solutions. We are showcasing our latest range of wholesale office furniture and customised recliners, including sofas and rotatable models – all designed to support the evolving needs of modern workplaces.' A key highlight of the event, the WORKSPACE Summit, designed by BLUEHAUS is also underway with dedicated sessions and panel discussions on the necessity of human-centric social spaces, the integration of Artificial Intelligence into workplace design, and the evolving needs of employees. In one of the day's opening sessions, Ben Corrigan, Founder and Managing Director of BLUEHAUS, explored the fundamental importance of human connection in a world increasingly reliant on digital communications. According to Corrigan, while much of what we do can be accomplished online – especially evident during the COVID pandemic – he emphasized 'authentic social interaction remains irreplaceable'. 'We're human, no matter what direction we go in,' he said. 'Physical presence fosters genuine engagement that virtual tools cannot replicate.' To illustrate this, Corrigan recounted a personal story about designing a vibrant communal space in London that encouraged social interaction. The space thrived because it energized visitors, becoming the 'soul' of the workspace. When a similar concept was attempted in Dubai, it failed – until a simple experiment was conducted. 'All it took was increasing the background noise on some of the screens that we placed around the space, rather than overhauling the design,' he said. 'This subtle change made the space feel more familiar and comfortable. The quietness of the space before this minor change was putting people off. This led to the space being fully utilized by the company's employees after only one week, ticking that crucial part of the design brief - employee engagement. 'Beyond design and technology, it's how individuals feel in a space that truly matters. Despite technological advancements, the human need for connection, community, and belonging remains central.' With Artificial Intelligence now becoming commonplace in most work environments, the interior design industry is no different. In a session titled 'The AI Revolution – How Intelligent Tech is Redefining the Workplace', Jalil Benkiran, Managing Director, Ultraconfidentiel, said that over the past three years, his approach to AI had been centred around its role as an augmentation of imagination rather than a replacement for his designers. From the outset, Benkiran viewed AI as a tool to enhance the creative process, helping his team to explore new ideas, expand their horizons, and deepen their design insights: 'Our strategy has involved experimenting with a wide variety of AI tools – testing what emerges and identifying those that are most relevant to our workflow,' he said. 'The goal is to elevate the team's creative capabilities and facilitate operating exploration at a higher level. As one expert said 'AI is like a megaphone. If you don't have anything to say, then obviously the output isn't going to be impactful.' In our view, the core of meaningful use of AI lies in the initial input: The art direction, vision, and intent that designers inject into the system. The AI simply amplifies this input, acting as a digital extension of our creative minds. It pushes boundaries, offers new perspectives, and challenges us to think differently.' Benkiran has changed his mindset on what AI means to his business. 'We see AI as a virtual colleague sitting around the table with us: Helping, questioning, provoking, and prompting us not just to find perfect answers, but to ask new questions and explore uncharted territories. This collaborative partnership between human intuition and machine intelligence is shaping a new frontier of creativity, where technology empowers us to go deeper and wider in our design processes.'
