The problem
Computer rooms are expensive. And mostly empty.

Conventional computer rooms in schools and universities are often poorly utilised when used for a single purpose. When the computers are not in use, the visible technology blocks a room that is needed for other purposes.

The SMESK desk solutions tackle exactly this problem: the technology can be stowed away in seconds whenever it is not needed.

Why equip a room with SMESK?

These are the benefits that win over school authorities, school leaders and training managers.

01

One room, two uses

With the monitors lowered, the room is a normal classroom. With the monitors raised, it becomes a fully equipped computer room. The space is used twice over instead of standing half empty.

02

IT as part of the lesson

The computers are used exactly when they are needed: for research, programming or presentations. Afterwards the monitors disappear, and the lesson continues with exercise books and textbooks. The teacher decides.

03

Ready to go

No laptop trolley that has to be fetched first. No charging, handing out or collecting. The technology is built into the desk and ready for use in seconds. It is never carried around or dropped.

04

Fully fledged computers

Real PCs up to workstation class, large monitors and a proper keyboard. They complement tablets and laptops wherever full performance is needed: in computer science, CAD, exams and training.

05

Free choice of device

The desk accommodates any standard PC. You keep your familiar hardware and your standard image, with no vendor lock-in.

06

Built for everyday school life

Cables and technology are protected inside the desk, which makes them much harder to steal or tamper with. The monitor moves on a gas spring, deliberately without a motor, so it needs little maintenance.

SMESK desk solutions
Thought through to the last detail

They combine functionality, flexibility and high-quality workmanship,
designed specifically for use in training and conference rooms
Person lowering the monitor into the SMESK desk, turning the computer desk into a clear work surface in seconds
Quick switch from computer desk to conventional workspace, with maximum desk space when the monitor is stowed away
Neatly bundled cables in the upper cable tray of a SMESK desk, secured with clips
Vandal-resistant storage with a wide range of fixing options and fully enclosed cable routing, yet easily accessible for maintenance, with an optional additional lock for authorised access
Row of desks with SMESK Lift: wood-effect desktop with ABS edge on a black, powder-coated steel desk body
The desk body, frame and housing parts are made of powder-coated steel instead of wood-based material, so moisture from wiping and knocks at foot level affect them much less. The 19 mm desktops have a reinforced, multi-layer melamine resin structure and, according to the board manufacturer, are particularly resistant to impact and scratches. They also have 2 mm ABS edges, and our board manufacturer sources its wood-based materials from PEFC/FSC-certified forestry. On the Lift, the monitor runs maintenance-free on a stainless steel rail and slide block.
