Realising Imagination
Our singular purpose was to design a product that goes beyond any existing convention. Imagined with simple yet purposeful strokes. Volant's form is materialized using seamless lines of solid acrylic - marrying the look of classic stone with the avant-garde form.
Crafting Volant
The designer's vision. The engineer's precision. The craftsman's attention to
detail.
When the elements come together, the icon is born.
Volant was built
on one premise :
When you feel great,
you work great.
When you
feel great,
you work
great.
We work best only when we have the state of mind for it, when we feel great. And that's what Volant does for you - it keeps up your mental energy. It ensures you feel great throughout the day so you work at your peak.
Activity
Lamps
Volant uses sensors, machine learning and
predictable biological data to identify the
moments when you hit a slump, like the
ones you feel in the afternoons or when
you work at a stretch without a break.
When Volant recognises that you’ve
hit a slump, it uses the activity lamps
on the worktop to remind
you to break it.
Just move to break the slump.
When the lamps light up, even just getting up from your desk and taking a
quick walk will immediately rejuvenate you. There is nothing more effective
at keeping up your state of mind than an activity at these key moments.
Or, Stand.
There's another way to
break the slump
when the lamps light up - just stand and
bring your work up to you. The moment
you stand, you get more oxygen
and you can focus better throughout the
time you stand and work.
As Volant knows your work pattern, it
also tells you through the activity lamps
exactly how long you need to stand to
break the slump.

To feel great throughout the day,
achieve all your lamps.
When you break all your slumps in your day, you’ll feel
much more refreshed. Volant helps you do just that. It
sets a goal for you every day that’s tailored to how you
work. Every time you break a slump by standing or taking
a break away from the desk, you achieve a beautiful lamp
that comes up on the worktop, marking your progress.
A simple and effective goal - to keep up your state
of mind throughout the day, break every slump and
achieve all the lamps.

Solid Acrylic
Solid Acrylic is easy to maintain.
Once a week, use a damp microfibre cloth to remove everyday abrasive particles,
this should remove any stains as well. For persistent residues,
all you need is warm soapy water or any household cleaner.
Wipe the countertop dry in circular motions immediately afterwards.
Solid Acrylic is a remarkably durable material that’s inherently renewable because it is
solid and homogeneous all the way through. Most damage, including severe impact, heat or
chemical damage, can usually be repaired on site to restore the original, smooth, hygienic
solid surface integrity. Please contact us in the case of such severe damage.
Wood Veneer
For routine care, dust regularly with a slightly damp, soft, lint-free cloth and then wipe dry with a dry,
soft cloth in the direction of the wood grain.
Spills should be immediately wiped up with a damp cloth. Use coasters for glasses and mugs.
Let glass surfaces rest on felt pads. Don’t let vinyl binders stay on a surface for very long.
Use protective pads under equipment with “rubber” cushioning feet. Some chemical compounds used in the feet
on office equipment, such as printers and monitor stands, may leave permanent stains or marks.
