Our Story

About MotionFurni

Provide products with high quality standard and also affortable price to all the customers.

Founder Arthur Anderson grew up and grew in San Jose, California. At the age of 48, he has been working for a local furniture company for 25 years. As the Chief Structural Engineer for furniture design, he has been responsible for designing and producing various types of tables, cabinets, bed frames, and dressing tables, in countless styles including European, American, Mediterranean, modern minimalist, and more. Their clients include various large tech companies local to California, such as SpaceX, PayPal, Amazon. These were their main clients, as they appreciated unique and quality products. His life and work had been steady until the sudden global pandemic struck three years ago.

The unexpected outbreak of the global pandemic three years ago caught him off guard and disrupted Arthur Anderson’s peaceful life. As the pandemic worsened, Arthur’s company started requiring him and his colleagues to work from home to reduce the spread of the virus.

While working from home made work more convenient and extended work hours, it also reduced exercise time and frequency. The widespread and escalating COVID-19 pandemic led Arthur Anderson to reduce various social activities, both voluntarily and due to circumstances.

Consequently, he found himself confined to the small spaces of his home or office for the majority of his time, be it day or night, weekdays or weekends. The overall economic downturn in the United States further jeopardized his furniture company, adding immense production and operational risks, and increasing work pressure. This resulted in a significant decline in his physical health and immune system, leading to frequent colds, coughs, and other ailments. Prolonged periods of sitting in the same position without regular exercise led to backaches and discomfort.

He felt that this trajectory not only made individuals sick but also affected the health of the Earth and the environment.

He pondered whether there could be a high-quality adjustable height desk that could help people like him, who needed to work in offices for extended periods. A desk that would allow comfortable adjustment of working positions during long hours of work. Additionally, he envisioned a company that could grow in strength while also valuing and respecting the power of nature, protecting the Earth’s environment that sustains us.

Motivated by these thoughts, he left his previous company and, along with a group of engineer friends, established the MotionFurni brand. Their focus was to provide health, which encompasses both humans and nature, to everyone, becoming the guiding principle of their work and endeavor.

In the market, various types of adjustable desks flooded the scene, with low prices and mostly poor quality. Many of these disregarded environmental capacity and protection needs, contributing to environmental degradation. Clearly, these products didn’t align with their development direction.

San Jose, being a renowned furniture hub in the US, offered a comprehensive cluster of furniture products, greatly facilitating their work.

To ensure the quality and standards of different companies’ products in the market, Arthur Anderson spent 13 months purchasing and testing products from 87 of the world’s most famous electric standing desk manufacturers. These companies included the top 30 brands in the US, medium and large OEM/ODM contract manufacturers, major sales platforms (Amazon, Home Depot, Wayfair), and small production enterprises and brands. This extensive research confirmed the quality levels, standards, and identified potential quality issues in various categories, leading to the formation of MotionFurni’s product quality standards and sales system.

Currently, MotionFurni focuses on electric standing desks and related products for office use, catering to home office users, corporate office spaces, mobile medical offices, and more. Every product adheres to the highest industry standards in design, production, and quality certification including UL, BIFMA, FCC, etc. Their 25-year warranty demonstrates their confidence in product quality and their commitment to high standards for all customers.

For MotionFurni, responsibility extends beyond just products. They aim to manufacture high-quality products that can be used for years, reducing the need for replacements. They also commit to planting a tree for every desk sold, aiming to plant a million trees in a year as part of their sustainability efforts.

Their commitment to environmental conservation isn’t limited to products. They follow the “3R principle” – Reusing, Reducing, and Reimagining – within their products and beyond. They emphasize reusing parts, promoting joint desktops for efficient material use, and discouraging excessive consumption.

Today, MotionFurni embodies innovation and goal-driven entrepreneurial spirit. Their adjustable height desks are not merely furniture; they are transformational tools molded by dedication and guided by lessons from nature. As workplaces evolve and embrace more dynamic approaches, MotionFurni leads the way, offering a path towards a healthier, more productive, and environmentally friendly future.

Join their journey to redefine the work experience. Embrace change, stand above the ordinary, and create a workspace aligned with the spirit of adventurers. As they embark on the journey towards vitality and well-being, let MotionFurni be your compass, guiding you towards a more vibrant and fulfilling work and life.

Our Values​

Four pillars-combined-are what differentiate us:

1.   Crafting the Best Products (Functionality, Repairability, and Durability)

2.   Minimizing Unnecessary Harm

3.   Service Speaks

4.  Unconstrained by Conventions

Crafting the Best Products

MotionFurni balances performance and desire in everything we do for clients.   We also scout internationally for talent and partner with today’s leading architects and designers to bring clients fresh ideas and the best possible products and solutions.

Minimizing Unnecessary Harm to Environment

We design, source, and manufacture products in the markets where they are delivered, ensuring solutions are tailored for the environment, the distinct cultures and client preferences, greater agility, and more sustainable sourcing.  With our global footprint and diversity of ideas, we deliver the best in design thinking to clients wherever they are in the world. But all that are base on the enviornmental protection raw material supplier systems and our product environmental friendly contral.

Service Speaks

Every pieces of the desks need to design, produce, and test according to our company’s 56 pages standard process regulation one by one.  Any quality issues can be traced to a confirmed process and confirmed worker, by our special quality tracing process. We would try our best to serve our customers as best as we can.

Unconstrained by Conventions-1 Million Trees Planting

We want to keep us to be one of the pioners to be environmental protection in height adjustable desk industry. In 12 months, we are planning to plant 1,000,000 trees. Hoping we could reach this target. 

Environmental Protection Principle(3″R”)

Reusing, Reimagine, Reducing

Reusing:

We encourage our customers to consider replacing specific components whenever possible, rather than having to purchase an entire set of desk frame and tabletop, especially if they’ve already bought related products from our company. Even if they’ve acquired desks from other companies, they’re welcome to individually purchase any of the accessories we offer. Additionally, we’re committed to providing extra repair support services to assist you in refurbishing your existing desks. Our intention is to promote tabletop or desk frame replacements as a means to reduce your overall expenses. All of these options will be prominently highlighted in our marketing and promotional campaigns.

 

 

Reimagine:

We strongly advocate for the widespread adoption of modular tabletops, which efficiently utilize every piece of natural wood. This approach not only contributes to resource efficiency but also provides customers with a more spacious and accommodating desktop experience.

 

Reducing:

As a company, one of our most responsible actions is to manufacture high-quality products that can be used for many years, eliminating the need for frequent replacements. Our approach is centered around meeting the actual needs of our customers. We prioritize designing larger tabletops and providing corresponding desk frames to maximize the usable desktop area.

Additionally, we are committed to not selling products that are needlessly complex or solely driven by sales motives. For instance, our introduced dual-layer desktop serves as an alternative to purchasing additional Arm monitors, reducing unnecessary consumption.

Furthermore, we encourage everyone to engage in thoughtful consideration before making purchases. We believe in only acquiring what is truly necessary. If we don’t encourage customers to think carefully before buying, our efforts toward environmental change would be insincere. To minimize environmental impact, we all must reduce consumption and produce products in ways that are more environmentally sensitive and less harmful.
