The DropTop™ Desk by Pith & Stem is a creative reimagining of the home office, one that fits the needs of today’s fast paced remote working world. It transforms from an impactful piece of wall art into a fully functional workstation. This concept redefines the traditional desk, offering a space-saving solution that harmonises work and living spaces, whilst providing users the ability to close-down the working day – both physically and mentally. No small feat in today’s ‘always-on’ working world. It's a visionary approach to the evolving demands of remote work, blending art and utility; whilst providing freedom.

Our goal was to design a workstation that addresses the challenges of remote work without compromising on living space. The DropTop™ Desk blends perfectly between life and work, offering a clutter-free, efficient workspace, whilst taking up little space in the home. The minimalist design boasts maximum functionality, reflecting our commitment to elegant, practical solutions for modern living. With over half of all UK employers now offering remote work* (in 2023) the need for an effective work from home solution has never been more needed.

The DropTop™ Desk's design is a blend of sophistication and functionality. When closed, it's quite literally a work of art – enhancing any room's decor. Opened, it reveals a spacious, ergonomic workspace. The design prioritises clean lines, hidden storage, and integrated technology, creating a visually appealing and highly functional piece of furniture. The DropTop™ Desk puts fashion and function on an even keel.

DropTop™ - find your balance.
