About

Lounge-tek was founded in 2007 with a simple yet innovative idea: to make using a laptop more ergonomic and comfortable in informal settings such as the living room, bed, or armchair. Since then, our goal has remained the same: to design functional and intelligent laptop supports that enhance digital life by combining Italian design, craftsmanship, and sustainability.

We are based in Verona, in the Veneto region of northern Italy—a land where manufacturing tradition and innovation have coexisted for centuries. All our products are either made in-house or crafted by a network of local artisans, proudly adhering to the principles of Made in Italy.

In 2023, we started a new chapter with the launch of the LapDesk. Our goal was to create something even more refined, lightweight, and sustainable. With the creative input of designer Filippo Chignola, we developed a new line that redefines digital comfort through noble materials such as solid wood, steel, and aluminum.

Each LapDesk is hand-finished using artisanal techniques and transparent water-based coatings that preserve the natural beauty and warmth of the wood. It's more than a laptop accessory—it’s a modern piece of furniture, designed for today’s smart, flexible lifestyles.

We are Lounge-tek. We bring together functionality, beauty, and environmental care—with a touch of Italian passion.
