Narbutas
Nova
A simple, clean desking and benching solution — a choice of leg profiles, tidy cable management, and full Environmental Product Declarations.
Overview
Nova keeps it honest and uncomplicated: a clean frame, a choice of legs, and real environmental documentation behind it. Here’s how it works, and where it fits.
Nova is Narbutas’s straightforward desking and Benching — the open, collaborative paradigm where teams work along shared, continuous runs. It’s a clean powder-coated metal frame with a choice of four leg profiles (U, A, O, H), worksurfaces with tidy cable ports and grommets, and back-to-back bench depths for open-plan runs. Its real distinction is sustainability: full Environmental Product Declarations for tabletop, frame and legs — third-party documentation that supports LEED and green-building submissions.

Narbutas brings a European design aesthetic at Eastern-European value, and Nova is its straightforward end of that — our pick when a project wants clean, honest desks without the cost or complexity of a full system — and wants to stand behind its environmental choices. The four leg profiles give the design a little personality, the cable management keeps it tidy, and the full EPDs give a green-minded client real documentation, not just claims. Simple, sustainable, and easy to live with.
So here’s when we’d specify Nova — and when we’d point you elsewhere.
Specify it when
- You want simple, honest, uncomplicated desking and benching.
- Strong environmental documentation matters to the project.
- A clean frame with a choice of legs fits the look.
- You value European design at accessible value, from a maker that backs us up.
Consider something else when
- Teams need real enclosure and acoustic privacy — a panel system fits better.
- You want heavily integrated power and data — a powered beam or panel goes further.
- The plan will reconfigure constantly — an agile beam reconfigures faster.
- The floor is highly technical and spec-heavy — a frame-and-tile panel offers more.

In a Discover & Plan project we specify the exact palette with you.
