| The EFG Nostra Niveau height adjustable desk designed by Danish designer Susse Fischer with the focus as much on advanced design as on function, flexibility and ergonomics. The desks are not fitted with a crossbeam which means there is plenty of legroom. |
Design adds value
The aim with the development work on the new EFG Nostra Niveau range of height adjustable desks was not only to create a functionally optimal product when it comes to operation, flexibility and ergonomics, but also to convey a total design experience.
For the most part unique
The EFG Nostra Niveau has been designed by the famous Danish designer Susse Fischer whose work includes the trains that traffic the Öresund Bridge and the sports stadium in Copenhagen, Idraettsparken. Based on a specification that includes high design value and optimal function, flexibility and freedom of movement, a range of desks has been created that is for the most part unique.
The desks are not fitted with a crossbeam which means there is plenty of legroom. The construction of the legs, with their fluted pillars, gives the desk a clear character. The pillars are made of aluminium extrusions and the grooves are even practical as they allow the adjustable sideways fastening of the horizontal support legs. The aluminium pillars enclose two telescopic steel pipes and the motor is mounted in the upper part of the pillar. The extrusions are designed for strength and torsional stability. The desk is unusually stable – despite the lack of a crossbeam that is usual
on a conventional desk.
At the limit of the possible
The shape of the pillars is slightly conical which created a major technical challenge that was solved in cooperation with extrusion supplier and development partner Hydro Aluminium Profier. A very exacting and demanding design means that advanced machining is required to give the extrusion the required shape, appearance and tolerances even in the conical area. Hydro delivers finished and lacquered extrusions ready to be assembled.
Based on the designer’s way of expressing herself, the extrusion technology is here stretched to the limit!

The extrusions are designed for strength and torsional stability. The shape of the pillars is the result of a technically advanced machining step that makes great demands on the alloy, the extrusion design and the advanced machining equipment. Hydro delivers finished and lacquered extrusions ready to be assembled.
