Room & Board, the American modern furnishings retailer, and Gensler, the global architecture and design powerhouse, have announced the launch of the Lincoln Desk Collection. This collaboration between Room & Board and Gensler—serving as product design consultant—blends Room & Board’s commitment to quality craftsmanship with Gensler’s expertise in human-centered design.
Key features of the Lincoln Desk Collection include a variety of customizable options, sustainably sourced materials, built-in functionality and an overall timeless design.
“It was a rewarding process bringing the Gensler and Room & Board teams together to create this collection,” said Gene Wilson, vice president of merchandising and vendor management at Room & Board. “It’s made with sustainable United States hardwoods, has great functionality as an adjustable-height storage desk and has a beautiful design to enhance homes or workplaces.”
“We’re delighted to partner with Room & Board on this collaboration, culminating in a product that will make both remote and in-office workers more comfortable and effective,” said Scott Star, director of product development at Gensler. “And we’re especially thrilled that it achieves all of our preliminary, consumer research-based objectives: quick setup and pack up of work-related materials, including desktop computers, mobile devices and papers; easy power access and wire management; and an ability to adapt to a variety of residential settings, whether a dedicated home office or the corner of a bedroom or living area.”
