Every piece has a story
Composad Energia Adjustable-Height Desk
A sit-stand desk with a second-life material story. Energia pairs electric height adjustment with Composad's Ecological Panel®, made from 100% post-consumer wood.
The Composad Energia is an electric adjustable-height office desk from Composad's Energia collection. Composad says its Ecological Panel® is made from 100% post-consumer wood. The desk combines that circular material story with a clean sit-stand frame and finish choices that can make it feel warmer, lighter or more architectural in a home office.
See the story in the showroom
There is the finish you see—and the material story underneath.
The video introduces Energia through two practical ideas: the desk adjusts to the person using it, and the wood-look surface begins with recovered material rather than newly harvested solid oak or walnut.
What the video explains
- Why the desk is described as recycled-wood furniture
- The difference between a wood finish and solid wood
- How electric height adjustment changes the workspace
- Why low-emission claims should stay specific—not absolute
- What needs to be compared in person before choosing a finish
The material story
This wood has already lived another life.
Composad's Ecological Panel® is made from recovered post-consumer wood. The material is processed into new furniture panels, then finished to create the color and texture customers see in the room.
Post-consumer wood
Composad says the panel is made from wood that has already been used and recovered for another purpose.
A circular process
The goal is to keep usable wood material in circulation instead of treating it as the end of the story.
Finish—not species
Artisan Oak and walnut describe the look of the surface. They should not be presented as solid oak or solid walnut without product-specific proof.
Low-emission language
Composad documents LEB low-emission panel technology. That is a more accurate story than claiming the furniture has zero off-gassing.
Not just beautiful—functional
The desk adjusts to the person using it.
Energia adds electric height adjustment to the material story, giving the same work surface more than one working position.
Raise it for standing work. Lower it for seated work. Fine-tune the surface for a different person, chair or task. The configuration shown includes a digital controller with preset buttons, though exact controls and height range should be confirmed for the desk being ordered.
More than one look
The same desk idea can feel warm, graphic or almost invisible.
The Energia imagery shows how dramatically finish and frame color change the room. The video references Artisan Oak and a walnut-look option, while the supplied collection photography also shows a high-gloss white setting.
Exact finish names, combinations, matching storage pieces and order availability should be confirmed with 2 Danes.
A closer look at the desk
Clean frame. Open legroom. A surface that changes height.
The product view makes the desk's basic idea easier to read: a thin wood-look top, two electric lift columns, a stable T-foot base and a digital controller at the edge.
The simplicity matters. It leaves room to think about the things that actually determine fit—monitor depth, keyboard position, chair clearance, cords, storage and how much open floor area the base needs.
Who should consider it?
A good fit when you want the office to work harder without looking more industrial.
You want sit-stand movement, but you also want the desk to feel like part of the room.
You care about what the furniture is made from and prefer a named, documented material story over vague green claims.
You need a desk plus storage, shelving or a mobile file that can work together visually.
What you need to see in person
The website can explain the material. The showroom tells you whether the desk fits.
The finish in real light
Wood-look grain, gloss level and undertone can change between a screen, daylight and showroom lighting.
The seated height
Check your elbow position, chair arms, keyboard and monitor when the desk is set for seated work.
The standing height
Raise the desk and make sure the usable range fits the person—or people—who will use it.
The control and movement
Try the controller, listen to the lift and confirm whether the specific configuration includes memory presets.
The base footprint
Measure where the feet land and how the frame relates to your chair, rug and walking path.
The storage plan
See whether a mobile file, bookcase or cabinet belongs beside the desk—or whether open space works better.
The cord plan
Bring a list of monitors, docks, lamps and chargers so the workspace is planned around the equipment you actually use.
The real room scale
Bring measurements and photos. Different does not have to be difficult—a little information helps.

Compare the surface, the movement and the whole office—not just a product image.
At 2 Danes, you can raise and lower the desk, see how the finish reads in person and talk through the room, chair, storage and equipment that need to work around it.

Frequently asked questions
Composad Energia Desk FAQ
What is the Composad Energia desk?
The Energia is an electric adjustable-height office desk from Composad's Energia collection. It combines sit-stand movement with the company's Ecological Panel® material system.
Is the Energia desk made from recycled wood?
Composad says the Ecological Panel® used throughout its furniture production is made from 100% post-consumer wood—wood that has already been used, recovered and processed into new furniture panels.
Is Artisan Oak the same as solid oak?
No. Artisan Oak is a finish description. It gives the surface an oak look, but it should not be described as solid oak unless the exact product specification says so. The same caution applies to walnut-look finishes.
Does the Energia desk move between sitting and standing heights?
Yes. The desk shown is electrically height-adjustable. The pictured configuration includes a digital control panel; confirm the exact controller and height range for the version available through 2 Danes.
Does the desk have memory presets?
The supplied product image shows a controller with preset buttons. Controls can vary by configuration, so confirm the exact desk specification before ordering.
Does recycled-wood furniture have zero off-gassing?
The available manufacturer information supports a low-emission story, not a zero-emission claim. Composad documents an LEB panel designed for formaldehyde emissions well below restrictive regulatory limits. Ask which panel specification applies to the exact Energia configuration.
What finishes are available?
The showroom video references Artisan Oak and a walnut-look option, while the collection imagery also shows a high-gloss white setting. Current finish names and combinations should be confirmed with 2 Danes.
Are matching storage pieces available?
Energia collection imagery shows the desk with coordinating bookcases, cabinets and mobile storage. Ask 2 Danes which pieces and finish combinations are currently available.
What size is the Energia desk?
Dimensions can vary by configuration. Bring your room measurements, monitor setup and chair dimensions so the 2 Danes team can help evaluate fit.
