Find your Rhythm

The Rochestor uses a fixed geometry to support the laptop at a stable viewing height when used on the desk or lap. Adjustability is unnecessary once the relationship between screen, body, and surface is resolved.

After one day, you stop folding yourself around your laptop

The laptop sits closer to eye level and posture follows without conscious correction. Movement increases simply because remaining still becomes less necessary.

How we usually sit

Much of modern life is spent leaning slightly forward. Screens encourage this position and over time the body adapts accordingly. The change is rarely dramatic, but it becomes familiar enough to go largely unnoticed.

A different way of using a laptop

Rochestor does not attempt to correct posture directly. Instead, it alters the position of the screen relative to the body. Unlike desk-bound risers, it is used where people already sit. By raising the laptop rather than the surrounding environment, it allows posture and movement to adjust without conscious effort.

13'' Rochestor is stunning

I got the 13” Rochestor recently, and it’s been such a good buy. It's minimal but still feels intentional and it’s so easy to move around. I work between home, cafés, and co-working spaces, so having something this lightweight has been ideal.

Didn’t realise how much I was hunching over until I started using it. It's a really well-designed piece that makes work a bit easier (and nicer to look at).

Bought because it’s sustainable

I’m big on sustainability, so I did a bit of research. its made of wood and vegan leather so all okay. I bought the Rochestor because I didn't want a plastic riser or one of the metal ones on Amazon because I simply don't like the design. I was looking for something to help my back but also look good and I feel the rochestor does both. really happy with my purchase.

It's FANTASTIC!!

Here's how it work for me: back straight, laptop high, wrist comfortable and hours of intense work. In bed. Watching my favourite show. What an amazing day. Came from Reddit and so glad I did.

Friend recommended it.

I hadn’t heard of the Rochestor before. One of my friends has one of the stan 2 and kept talking about it. I liked the desk but decided to try something smaller. The product does exactly what it says. 2 days of using it and it feels hard to work without it. I’d definitely recommend it.

Feels secure

It’s a bit heavier than I expected, but that actually adds to the feeling of quality. It's stable when using it, and I don’t have to worry about it tipping over. It’s not too heavy to carry around, so I’m happy with it.

I've been waiting for something like this for ages so I can finally move away from 'corporate shrimp'. Look how beautiful this is.

Shiv, Tech Founder

The best I've tried for my laptop. It lifts the laptop to eye-level and it's incredibly light considering it's made of sustainable wood.

Sally, Investor

It makes you move without trying. You stand, you sit, you forget about it and I love that. Plus it's solid and good-looking.

Suited to those who

Want to work in varied positions rather than at a fixed desk.

Spend extended periods engaged in thinking, writing or design-led tasks.

Are attentive to how objects influence posture and use of space.

Feel
The Rochestor is made from wood for durability. It has sufficient weight to feel stable in use, while remaining light enough to move easily. The surface is warm to the touch, quiet during use and comfortable against the body.
Stability
Stability is achieved through form rather than mechanism. The Rochestor rests on your desk or lap without fixing the body in place, allowing small movements and changes in position and environment.
Health
By positioning the screen closer to eye level, the Rochestor reduces the need for repeated postural correction. There is nothing to set, lock, or recalibrate; the object functions as soon as it is used.

In practice

In practice, the Rochestor moves around the home. It is used on the sofa, at the edge of the bed, on the floor or wherever feels appropriate at the time. It is rarely approached as a setup, it simply becomes part of how one sits.

Freedom of placement

Because it does not depend on a desk or fixed surface, the Rochestor is used across different spaces. It is carried from room to room, or taken along, without deciding in advance where to sit. This flexibility alters how space is used.

Afterwards

Once the screen has been used at a more natural height, lower arrangements become immediately noticeable. Returning to desks, tables or fixed positions tends to feel less like preference and more like compromise.
