Generations of British architects and engineers did their best thinking standing at a drawing board — a habit the modern office quietly retired. Eleva, a height-adjustable modern desk, brings the posture back with executive manners: at the touch of a control the top travels from 75 to 120 cm, desk height to drafting height, and the work changes register with it. Bralco builds it in the Veneto furniture district, to a design by Gianantonio Perin and Monica Fernandes.

What you will not see is the machinery. The lifting columns live inside two curved oak legs, and the integrated cabling runs down through the leg to a metal plate at the floor — so the desk stays composed at every height, cables included. The working zone is a stitched leather inlay set flush into the top; storage handles are drawn as carefully as the desk itself, one metal bar above, one curved pull below.

The collection thinks beyond the single desk: a service-unit version docks the rising top to a credenza, meeting tables climb to 120 cm alongside you, the boardroom table stretches to 440 cm, and low sideboards on slender steel legs carry the same seven oak finishes — with back-lacquered glass, ten leathers and even ecomalta on the palette. La Mercanti configures the set to the project and coordinates delivery wherever the office stands. The drawing board never really left; it just learned to dress.

FAQ

How high does the Eleva desk actually rise?
From 75 to 120 cm — desk height to classic drafting height — with electric adjustment. The travel covers seated work, perching on a stool and reviewing drawings or documents fully standing.
Does Eleva look like a sit-stand desk when it is still?
It doesn't, by design: the telescopic columns are clad in curved oak legs and the cabling stays inside the leg down to a floor plate. Parked at 75 cm it reads as a wooden executive desk; the mechanism only shows when it moves.
Can the meeting table match the desk's movement?
Yes — the collection includes meeting tables that adjust from 75 to 120 cm over a 200-240 cm top, plus fixed tables and a boardroom version stretching to 440 cm, all in the same oak and lacquer palette.
What is the leather detail on the top?
A genuine leather desk-pad inlay, stitched and set flush into the top where the day's work happens. If you prefer a single unbroken surface, the top comes in the full oak, lacquer or glass palette instead.
Who coordinates specification and delivery outside Italy?
La Mercanti configures sizes, versions and finishes with the producer, prepares the technical documentation from the product page, and coordinates the shipment to the project — delivery terms are confirmed in writing at order confirmation.

How to specify a rising executive desk that still reads as furniture

Five decisions that keep an electric executive desk elegant — travel, materials, cabling and the meeting side — using Eleva's oak-clad architecture.

Start from the two working heights
Fix the seated height and the standing one your routine actually uses; Eleva's 75-120 cm travel covers both. Check monitor arms and lighting reach the upper quota before signing off the layout.
Choose oak the way you choose a suit
Seven finishes — Carbon to natural, black and white lacquered — change the desk's temperature entirely. Order the sample set and judge it in the room's own light; the sample cost is fully credited at order confirmation.
Give the cables one exit, at the floor
Bring power to the point where the leg's integrated cabling meets its floor plate. One clean landing keeps the desk tidy at every height — no loops appearing when the top rises.
Dock a service unit if paper still matters
The service-unit version pairs the moving top with a fixed credenza: files, printer and second screen stay at hand while the desk travels. It is the configuration for offices that actually work at the desk.
Let the meeting side rise too
Specify the adjustable meeting table with the desk: standing reviews move from desktop to table without changing posture. Technical sheets for the specification pack download from the product page.
