Powering Agile Workplaces with Unprecedented Flexibility and Unmatched Utility

Transform your office design with battery-powered desks, allowing for quick reconfiguration and removing expensive electrical infrastructure.

The August Berres vision comes to life with Respond!™ Desks. We've engineered a solution that allows entire workplaces to be designed, implemented, and fully operational in a matter of days – all without the complexities of traditional electrical permits, contractors, and inspections. This is the essence of the Agile Workplace: simple, highly functional, easily movable, and inherently flexible.

We see battery power as a transformative opportunity. Today's advanced computer equipment requires less power than ever, and battery technology has evolved to seamlessly integrate with furniture, creating truly flexible facilities from end to end. Imagine every desk, every conference area, every casual work zone empowered with adaptable power, unburdened by cords and outlets. Respond!™ makes this vision a reality.

Respond!™ Desks are truly unique products in the market, disrupting traditional AC-only product lines by offering a forward-thinking alternative. Unlike most traditional office furniture competitors who remain reliant on AC-only solutions and are hesitant to abandon existing product lines and their installed base, August Berres provides a solution with unparalleled integrated utility.

This solution brings together strong performance, effortless mobility, and exceptional adaptability, transforming the modern workspace. It is particularly suitable for companies undergoing regular organizational changes, as it allows for easy reconfiguration of office layouts to align with shifting team structures and project requirements. Additionally, it optimizes the efficient use of space in dynamic hybrid workplaces.

Respond!™ Desks serve as the missing link in creating a truly end-to-end DC-powered building solution. They are the crucial endpoint that seamlessly delivers power to the user, directly integrating with the burgeoning DC infrastructure of modern commercial spaces.
