I build these by hand, in Berlin, one by one
Every Office Walker is assembled and inspected by hand at our Berlin workshop, a few at a time, from parts made by EU suppliers: wood from Estonia, steel and bearings from Italy, slats and railing from Germany. Each one is numbered, tested on our rigs before it is packed, and carries a 5 year guarantee.
Made in Berlin is not a sticker on the box. It is who you reach when something is wrong.
We assemble and inspect every Walker by hand at our Berlin workshop, a few at a time.
That is slower, and that is the point. Problems get caught by the people who are accountable for them, before anything goes out of the door.
What does made in Berlin actually mean?
Your Walker has a number, and it stays yours.
The serial number ties your unit to its batch and its finish. Years from now, when you need a spare part, that is a lookup instead of a guess.
Who do you reach when something goes wrong?
You reach the people who built it. Every Walker is assembled and inspected by a small team in one Berlin workshop, and every one carries a serial number tied to its batch and its finish. When you write to us years later about a part, that number turns the answer into a lookup rather than a guess.
That is what a small batch actually buys you. A label can say made anywhere. What matters is whether a person is accountable for the thing you received, and with most of what is sold in this category you cannot even find out who made it.
Built where it was designed, by the people who designed it.
Building slowly is expensive, and it is the only way this works.
A few units a day, assembled and inspected by the same small team, is a worse business on paper than a container from a factory nobody visits. It is also the only arrangement where a fault gets caught by someone who is accountable for it.
Parts come from EU suppliers, assembly happens in one Berlin workshop, and every Walker carries a serial number tied to its batch. When you write to us years later about a part, that number is why the answer is a lookup instead of a guess.
Get your name down for one.
Backers get theirs first. After that the waitlist orders, below the price the store will charge once it opens to everyone. Tens of thousands of people are already on it, so it is worth putting your name down now.
