Herman Miller Launches the Coyl Gaming Desk Starting at US$1095

Ergonomic furniture company Herman Miller has expanded its gaming range with a new motor driven, height-adjustable gaming desk called the Coyl. It’s not that hard to see where the inspiration for the name came from, as the Coyl features a very prominent, coiled up power cable. This is Herman Miller’s second attempt at a gaming desk—the first being the Motia—but this time the company has taken things to another level. For starters, the height adjustment is done via a rotary dial that has a simple LED display next to it, so you can dial in the exact height you want.

Cable management is another big selling point of the Coyl and the power cable connects to a built-in power strip that also offers USB charging ports. The rear of the desk is home to a perforated shroud that can be equipped with various add-ons to hold your accessories and devices and there’s of course also hooks for hanging your headset etc. on. The Coyl is said to feature a modular design, but as for now that modularity seems to be limited to four different colour options for the table-top, two leg colours, a cable management “soft pocket” that runs the length of the desk, the shroud and a fixed accessory bundle that includes five accessories. The Coyl starts US$1,095, but a fully kitted out desk would set you back as much as US$1,825, with a forced upgrade path as the shroud can’t be added without the cable management add-on. The accessories can also be bought individually on their own.
