Capital One Labs challenged its project team to create a workplace that encouraged movement, collaboration, and flexibility. Working alongside Studio O+A and One Workplace, Formaspace developed the original Weldmarx height-adjustable desk, a product that would go on to become the foundation of the company’s contract furniture collection.
Designed specifically for an open office environment, the Weldmarx workstation combines a solid hardwood worksurface, a fully welded steel frame, an integrated mobile pedestal, and locking casters that allow the entire desk to move wherever collaboration happens. Unlike conventional sit-to-stand desks, the complete workstation raises and lowers as a single unit, keeping storage and accessories aligned while providing a stable, ergonomic workspace.
The industrial aesthetic of exposed welds and natural materials complemented the architectural vision while delivering the durability expected from Formaspace products. More than 800 Weldmarx desks were ultimately installed throughout the office, supporting a workplace designed around mobility and cross-functional teamwork.
Projects like this show how close collaboration between designers, dealers, and manufacturers can lead to products that extend well beyond a single installation. Weldmarx began as a solution for one workplace and grew into a product family that continues to support flexible work environments today.
