Propellerhead Software, Auckland

Propellerhead software are a pretty inspirational bunch of software developers working out of Auckland. They were becoming increasingly aware of the health and safety implications of having staff seated all day but at the same time were reluctant to put new desks in that would spoil the unique designer feel of their offices.

We designed a solution for them that utilised their existing tops fitted to Powercore bases. The Powercore frames give the staff all the flexibility and movement that come from using height adjustable desks.

They have just completed a six month graduated fitout that allows all of their 90 programmer staff the option of either sitting or standing at work. And they've fitted virtually all their Powercore desks themselves, Michelle their receptionist found it only took 15 minutes to install their first stand sit desk - so they decided to go it alone.

Optimal Workshop, Wellington

Optimal Workshops are another "software as a service" customer of ours. They operate out of a funky second floor building in Allen St (Wellington).

As they have grown - we have grown with them. Over the past two years they have steadily added staff and we coordinate their need for new desks with them as they go.

These guys go to every length to show their staff that they value them and part of that is providing an active workspace.

Chloe Mudge their Happiness Engineer has the following to say about us:

"These guys are always professional and prompt, getting our team set up with their new desks quickly. They offer great advice and they truly understand the value of a comfortable and healthy working environment."

Antipodes, Wellington

Antipodes scientific validated organic beauty products are an amazing Wellington based company leading the way in organic skincare products that are scientifically formulated.

They are expanding quickly and take on new staff regularly.

A feature of a job offer at Antipodes is a Powercore height standing desk. Their offices in Newtown have Powercore desks all through them and as they grow their new staff enjoy the choice of standing or sitting at their workstation.

Cafe L'affare, Wellington

Caffe L'affare are nothing short of a Wellington institution. Whether you know them from their cafe in College St or the L'affare coffee adorning the supermarket shelves - these guys know coffee and were pioneers in introducing New Zealanders to a quality coffee experience.

When they renovated their offices adjoining the L'affare cafe - they installed Powercore stand sit desks with a twist.

Their offices are themed in dark colours that fit with their coffee roots. We designed custom black tops and underhanging drawers for their Powercore desks and also fitted different size desk to make the best use of their limited space. Their Wellington office staff now have a range of height adjustable work stations to work with.

Joyous HQ, Auckland

Joyous HQ are literally in the business of "workplace happiness".

Their revolutionary online software service provides regular feedback to management on workers happiness levels so we were thrilled when they came to us asking to help their workplace a happier place.

Situated right bang in the middle of Auckland CBD we provided all their staff with stand sit Powercore desks.

​

And they really seem to be enjoying them. Dominik from Joyous HQ says:

​

“Here at Joyous, we are always looking for ways to improve the office environment in terms of ergonomics. Powered standing desks were not on our radar previously due to their reputation of being heavy, bulky and expensive. However, the Powercore Plus desks with their sturdy-yet lightweight construction and their reasonable price tag were a fantastic surprise for us. We have now equipped every single team member with  Powercore Plus desks and everyone is loving them. Thank you so much for a great product that’s versatile and quick to adjust. It truly makes work better."

UI Revolution, Auckland

UI Revolution are yet another mould breaking software company we have outfitted with Powercore desks to make them more comfortable while they crank out the code.

Their recent move from Ponsonby Rd to Kingsland gave them the chance to revamp their workspace and to get their staff up and out of their chairs all day.

​

They decided on ply tops to go with their Powercore Plus electric stand sit frames.

​

The ply tops fitted in perfectly to their high ceiling attic space on New North Rd.

​

We provided them with monitor arms and they became the first major installation for our Powercore Sound Management System.

​

The sound management partitions fit on the back of Powercore desks and both dampen sound and create more private work areas.

​

They can be put up or taken down in seconds and cater to individual needs or project based requirements.
