Mechanical & Industrial Details

The Otis Steel base features exposed mechanical gearing, reinforced cast iron supports, and embossed "OTIS STEEL" branding on each base end. Precision-cut steel gears allow smooth adjustment through a full 10-inch range, while the heavy iron-wheel casters echo early factory transport systems.

Rather than hiding the mechanics, the Otis design celebrates them — creating a base where the engineering itself becomes a defining visual feature.

Custom Top Compatibility

This base is designed to support a wide range of custom tabletop materials including solid hardwood, reclaimed wood, steel, and mixed material surfaces. Its 60” × 36” footprint makes it well suited for dining tables, desks, or statement workspaces while maintaining proper balance and structural stability.

Industrial Heritage

Established during the U.S. Industrial Revolution, Otis Steel played a major role in Cleveland’s manufacturing history from 1875 to 1942. Inspired by the distinctive industrial forms of the Otis metalworks facility, this base reflects the strength, function, and mechanical honesty of early American industry.

Designed in Knoxville, Tennessee and assembled in-house using a combination of sourced components and hand-finished craftsmanship to ensure lasting strength and authentic industrial character.
