Practice What You Design: Inside UPLIFT Desk's Office Transformation
Creating exceptional office furniture is only part of what we do at UPLIFT Desk. We're equally committed to building an inspiring workplace where our own team can thrive. After all, who better to test innovative office solutions than the people who design them?
Our recent office transformation in Austin, TX demonstrates this philosophy in action. By thoughtfully reimagining our workspace, we've created an environment that supports both productivity and wellbeing. Here's a look at the key improvements we've implemented and the difference they're making for our team.
A New Collaborative Space: The Dillo Seating Area
The heart of our sales office renovation is the sophisticated Dillo Lounge Seating area, designed for versatile collaboration and comfort. Tying this inviting space together is an expansive 80-inch Mayes Coffee Table. This minimalist table provides a clean aesthetic that complements the modular seating arrangement while creating a functional surface for meetings and casual interactions.
The office space is surrounded by our Bonnell Acoustic Puzzle Wall, named after Austin's Mount Bonnell. These innovative acoustic panels create a natural barrier that minimizes distractions from surrounding areas while enhancing focus during collaborative sessions. Unlike traditional partitions, they're an acoustic solution that reduces distracting noise without sacrificing style or beauty.
The response from our team has been overwhelmingly positive. From our sales director; "The Dillo Lounge's modular design offers flexibility, allowing us to effortlessly transform our space from collaborative meetings to an office lounge within minutes". Team members regularly comment on how the strategic placement of these adaptable furniture pieces has enhanced our aesthetic and provided a space for employees to take a break from their work.
Acoustic Walls Meet Playful Design
In our shared spaces, we've taken steps to create a visually engaging yet acoustically optimized environment. Our Hive Acoustic Wall Tiles help reduce noise while adding a geometric flair to the office walls. To bring even more life to the design, we've hung tiny plants on the panels for a pop of color and fresh greenery. This thoughtful touch not only enhances the aesthetic but also boosts creativity and mood—because who doesn't feel more inspired with a bit of nature nearby?
Doubling Down on Privacy: More OnePod Office Phone Booths
Our sales team loves the OnePod Office Phone Booth—so much so that one wasn’t enough! We recently added a second booth to accommodate our team’s needs for private calls and interviews.
These soundproof booths are a game-changer for both professional and personal use, offering a quiet retreat for important conversations or moments of focus. They’re equipped with a height-adjustable shelf and ventilation system to ensure comfort during use, and their sleek design blends seamlessly with our office aesthetic.
Why These Upgrades Matter
At UPLIFT Desk, we believe that great office design does more than support productivity—it enhances well-being, fosters creativity, and builds a sense of community. Our Dillo Lounge Seating area provides informal settings where teams can connect and share ideas, while the strategic placement of Bonnell Walls and HIVE panels creates acoustic zones supporting different work styles. Thoughtful details like plants, vibrant seating, and visually appealing acoustic tiles coupled with the stylish functionality of our Dillo Lounge Seating and acoustic panels, make our office more welcoming, workable, and enjoyable for everyone.
Looking Ahead
These updates are just the beginning. We’re continually testing and implementing new ideas to ensure our offices reflect the same standards of quality, innovation, and functionality that we bring to our products. By living with and working in our designs, we gain firsthand insights into how to make them better—for our team and for yours.
