Intelligent Furniture launches new range of Powerdesks for the home sector. Powerdesks are beautifully-designed desks with regular PCs hidden invisibly inside, creating attractive,clutter-free,ergonomic computing with no visible tower case & no cable spaghetti

What makes Powerdesk unique is the world's first Remote Control for a PC,which sits in the desk's surface duplicating all the controls needed on a daily basis (on/off,USB,DVD) allowing the PC to be hidden away invisibly inside the desk

Intelligent Furniture has launched a new range of standard Powerdesks for the consumer market. The Powerdesk concept offers the first true solution to the problem of the big PC tower case and trailing wires, by hiding these inside the desk and placing the world's first true remote control for a PC in the desk's worksurface within easy reach. This creates an aesthetic, ergonomic, clutter-free, theft-proof computing and multimedia environment.

Powerdesks are fitted with the Freemote, a remote control for a PC. Freemote is a slim unit which duplicates all the controls needed to operate the PC (on/off switch, USB ports, headphone and mic ports, CD/DVD drive and operating lights) and sits in the desk's worksurface, enabling the industry-standard PC and all its cables to be hidden away invisibly inside the dead space of the desk (usually behind the drawers or in a slim cupboard at the back).

Intelligent Furniture's range of Powerdesks use regular Dell PCs, which come with Dell's 3 year onsite warranty, though any modern PC can be used. We can also fit customers' own PCs (as long as they are under 3 years old, have a spare PCI slot and fit in the allocated space within the desk). Powerful home-theatre sound systems are built into the desks, enabling the user to listen to music or watch TV/DVDs.

All prices quoted below include desk, Freemote technology, Dell PC, TFT monitor, cordless keyboard & mouse, sound system and VAT. (PC upgrades available at additional cost.)

The PolarisX is a cool, uber-modern desk made in steel, glass and white wood. It has 2 soft-close fully functional drawers, speakers in the underside of the desk and a Freemote embedded in the right hand side of the desktop. The PolarisX measures 1355mm W x 720mm D x 790mm H and costs £1675

The Nemo is a simple, stylish desk available in beech (light wood) or wenge (dark wood). It has a hutch on the desktop, under which the keyboard can be stored when not in use, and the Freemote sits in the right hand brushed aluminium pedestal. Nemo measures 1000mm W x 720mm D x 795mm H and costs £1250

The Sentinel is a modern, elegant desk available in oak and aluminium finish. It has 2 soft-close fully-functional drawers and a hutch on the desktop, and the Freemote sits in the right hand brushed aluminium pedestal. The Sentinel measures 1255mm W x 720mm D x 795mm H and costs £1400

About Freemote: The Freemote is a sleek, elegant unit which can be placed at the front of any worksurface and provides access to the key controls of the PC, allowing the computer to be hidden within the void space of any desk. Freemote duplicates the key controls of the PC, i.e. on/off switch, USB ports, headphone & mic ports, optical drive and operating lights – and puts them within the thickness of the workstation, at the user's fingertips. Freemote can be used with virtually any modern industry standard PC without infringing the onsite warranty provided by the PC manufacturer. This ensures that the PC is fully upgradeable at any time. Freemote is connected to the computer by 2 cables and a Powerdesk Port that is incorporated within a free expansion slot in the PC. Freemote is a Powerdesk Technologies product.

About Intelligent Furniture: In May 2007, Powerdesk International Ltd made the decision to move forward as a purely technology company, (“Powerdesk Technologies”), and no longer offer furniture. Given the demand for bespoke and high-end furniture, the founder of Powerdesk Technologies has set up an independent company “Intelligent Furniture Ltd” to service this demand. Intelligent Furniture provide a range of standard & bespoke furniture incorporating the Freemote technology, and will also offer ancillary furniture or non-technological furniture as required.
