Overview

Latitude is Krug’s elegant wood-veneer private office: a thin top profile, integrated wood finger pulls, quarter-cut veneers and a catalyzed varnish finish, in fixed or sit-stand height, from the oldest continuously-running wood furniture maker in North America. Here’s how it works, and when to reach for it.

Private-office casegoods

Latitude is Krug’s elegant wood-veneer private office — from a maker with deep roots: Krug is the oldest continuously-running wood furniture manufacturer in North America, and family-owned. That woodworking heritage shows in the details — a thin top profile, integrated wood finger pulls, and quarter-cut veneers (White Oak rift-cut) that read as clean, straight grain. Worksurfaces are 1½″ veneered tops with face-and-back veneer, finished in a five-step catalyzed varnish (a lower-sheen topcoat is available at standard pricing). Latitude comes in fixed or sit-stand height, with modesty panels standard and a full range of desks, returns, credenzas and storage.

Why we believe in this

Latitude is our pick when a private office should be real wood, done right. Krug has been building wood furniture longer than anyone on the continent — family-owned — and it shows in the quarter-cut veneer, the integrated finger pulls, and the catalyzed varnish that wears like furniture. The thin top profile keeps it elegant, and it comes fixed or sit-stand. When an executive office calls for genuine woodworking craft, Latitude is how we build it.

Our take

So here’s when we’d specify Latitude — and when we’d point you elsewhere.

We believe in it, which is exactly why we’ll be straight about fit. The honest version:

Specify it when

  • You want an elegant wood-veneer private office — thin top, integrated wood finger pulls, quarter-cut veneers, catalyzed varnish.
  • You want fixed or sit-stand height in a warm, high-design statement.
  • You value heritage craft from the oldest continuously-running wood furniture maker in North America.
  • You value a manufacturer that shares our standards and backs us up when a project needs it.

Consider something else when

  • You’re furnishing an open-plan workstation floor — a system fits better.
  • You want a laminate or value tier.
  • You want a contemporary all-metal look.
  • Lowest-cost quick-ship leads.
Where we land: Latitude is Krug’s elegant wood-veneer private office — thin profiles, quarter-cut veneers and a catalyzed varnish, from North America’s oldest wood furniture maker. When you need open-plan workstations or a value tier, we’ll point you elsewhere.
