flight deck overview
Flight Deck delivers high capacity technology to the user as well as a clear table surface for fine dining. It combines technical performance with elegant design, enabling a single space to support both focused work and shared moments around the table. Flight Deck designed by the Workbench design team, responds to a fundamental shift in how contemporary workplaces are used. As offices emerge as places for collaboration, connection and shared experience, meeting spaces are increasingly required to support multiple functions, seamlessly transitioning between formal business settings and more social, hospitality led environments.

design & construction
Flight Deck reimagines how technology can be integrated into the workplace without compromising design, functionality or longevity. By harnessing advanced actuator technology typically used to raise and lower entire table structures, Workbench has engineered a refined mechanism that operates within the tabletop itself. This innovation enables Flight Deck to move seamlessly between modes, rising to deliver high performance connectivity for meetings, and lowering smoothly to create a flush, uninterrupted surface suitable for dining or hospitality. This transformation happens in seconds, with no disruption to the integrity or visual clarity of the table surface.
a vision for the future
At the heart of Flight Deck is a modular architecture that allows power and connectivity components to be easily removed, upgraded or replaced as technology evolves. This ensures that the table system remains relevant over time, significantly extending the product’s usable life and reducing the environmental impact associated with premature replacement. Constructed from mild steel, the Flight Deck unit incorporates recycled material content and can be deconstructed for recycling at the end of its life, supporting responsible material stewardship and circular design principles.

Flight deck designed by the Workbench design team, responds to a fundamental shift in how contemporary workplaces are used. Flight Deck has been developed specifically to meet this evolving demand. The system integrates high capacity power and data connectivity within the meeting table, ensuring that modern teams can work with the full digital capability required for presentations, hybrid meetings and collaborative sessions. What distinguishes Flight Deck is its ability to transform the experience of the space. When in use for meetings, the integrated module rises to provide immediate access to power and connectivity. When the space shifts to hospitality or dining mode, the Flight Deck lowers smoothly into the table, becoming a precisely detailed inlay that sits flush with the surface.
