The Rochestor and Portable Work

The Rochestor is a portable laptop riser and work surface designed for people who work beyond one fixed desk. It raises the screen, supports better posture and folds into a slim carry form so your setup can move with you.

  • Screen higher

    Raises your laptop closer to eye level, instead of pulling your head down towards the screen.

  • Work anywhere

    Cafés, lounges, trains, apartments, studios and spaces where a full setup is not possible.

  • Folds into itself

    The riser becomes its own carry form, making it easier to move and store your laptop.

What it does and why it is different

  • More than a conventional laptop stand

    The Rochestor is designed as a durable work object rather than a disposable accessory. Made from proper materials, it works naturally anywhere.

  • A more practical working position

    Laptops keep the screen and keyboard fixed together, which often pulls the head down. The Rochestor raises the screen while keeping the keyboard and trackpad usable.

  • Portable

    It folds into a slim form for carrying between rooms and locations. Once opened, it remains stable and substantial enough for work.

  • Designed as part of the room

    Its materials and construction allow it to sit comfortably alongside design pieces, rather than looking like office equipment.

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.

After

Polly, Google UX Lead

Verity, Founder

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.
