Our Story | The First Standing Desk
It all started with a simple problem.
Back in 2015, our co-founder Samuel Finn was juggling two businesses, spending long hours at his desk. As someone passionate about health and fitness, he knew the risks of sitting all day—but standing all day wasn’t the answer either. Frustrated by the lack of high-quality sit-stand desks in North America, he did what any entrepreneur would do: he built his own.
That first makeshift standing desk—crafted from old car tires—was far from perfect, but it sparked an idea. What if a desk could be more than just a surface to work on? What if it could move with you, support your well-being, and look just as beautiful as the rest of your home?
Samuel teamed up with brand expert Kimberley Pontbriand, and together, they set out to create something better. In 2015, Ergonofis was born, blending thoughtful design with premium materials to create the first height-adjustable desk that was as functional as it was stunning. The Sway Desk, with its smooth, locally crafted wood and seamlessly integrated controls, quickly became a game-changer.
A Decade of Growth, Design & Craftsmanship
What started as an idea has grown into something bigger than we ever imagined.
Since then, our team has expanded to over 20 people, all sharing the same passion for craftsmanship and innovation. We've launched new standing desks, introduced ergonomic seating, carefully designed accessories, and expanded our reach across Canada and the U.S. We made a huge move to bring our warehouse operations and offices under one roof—so we could work even closer together, refining every detail of our process. And through it all, we’ve celebrated countless wins, milestones, and game nights that make this journey even more meaningful.
But some things haven’t changed. Every piece we create follows the same philosophy: design with intention, obsess over the details, and source responsibly. We believe your workspace should feel as good as it looks, inspiring focus, creativity, and well-being.
Our products are proudly made in Canada using sustainably sourced materials, supporting local craftsmanship and ensuring the highest quality. Because great design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about integrity and durability.
Looking Ahead: The Best Is Yet to Come
Now, as we celebrate 10 years, our mission hasn’t changed, but our vision has grown. We’re more committed than ever to rethinking workspaces, pushing the boundaries of ergonomic design, and creating products that seamlessly fit into every aspect of your life.
We design for movement, for adaptability, for longevity. We know that work isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is life. That’s why we’re crafting products as versatile as you are—built to evolve with you, whether you're grinding through deadlines, pursuing creative passions, or simply taking a moment to pause.
Investing in an Ergonofis desk isn’t just about upgrading your workspace—it’s about choosing to invest in quality, longevity, and yourself. It’s more than a desk; it’s a statement about the life you’ve built and the one you’re creating. A reflection of your commitment to craftsmanship, to thoughtful design, and to surrounding yourself with pieces that don’t just function, but inspire.
Our furniture is designed to move with you, to adapt to your evolving needs, and to stand the test of time. Thoughtfully crafted, carefully sourced, and built to last, an Ergonofis desk isn’t just a purchase—it’s a decision to invest in something that will be with you for life.
This milestone is just the beginning. The next decade is about going even further—designing smarter, sourcing better, and inspiring more people to build workspaces that truly support them.
Thank you for being part of our journey. We can’t wait to show you what’s next.
We Give Back
We believe it’s important to support organizations that take environmental responsibility as seriously as we do.
That’s why we’ve chosen to donate two days each year volunteering with Quebec-based environmental non-profits Le GRAME and Nature-Action Québec.
