The reason behind the desk.
If working from home is to remain part of our future, it needs tools that respect both the work and the life around it.
So we made it our mission to reinvent the WFH experience.
A note from Stefan,
Founder and CEO of Pith & Stem.
I started this company because I kept hearing the same thing: I love the freedom of working from home. I just don’t enjoy working from home.
And one day I cracked it. WFH gave us something incredible; freedom. But took something crucial away; control.
Over your space. Your boundaries. Your ability to actually switch off at the end of the day.
Without that, work bleeds everywhere. Your home stops feeling like a calm place. And you’re always half-working, and never fully present.
So that’s what I set out to create. A productivity powerhouse with the superpower of giving you back control over your space. Your boundaries, your presence. Your ability to step away at 17:00 and actually be done.
Start designing your DropTop.
A life without weekends seems unthinkable now. But less than a hundred years ago, the idea of not working on a Saturday sounded radical. People fought for it. They proved it wouldn’t break productivity. And eventually, it became so obvious that nobody questioned it again.
We’re at that moment right now with how we work.
It took a global tragedy to prove what millions already knew; we don’t need to be in an office five days a week to do great work. Since 2020, the way we work has changed for the better. People got time, freedom and flexibility back. They can be there for the school run, spend more time with their family, have lunch at home. They skipped the packed commute and still delivered. In many cases, they delivered more.
But this isn’t settled. Not yet.
The tool that makes sure working from home actually works
Every day, someone in a boardroom is building the case to pull it back. And we’d be naive to think it’s only about control. When results dip and nobody can explain why, that’s all the justification they need. And in many cases they’re right. WFH isn’t a free pass to take a day off. WFH is the day you zone in, away from distractions and impress even yourself with the results.
So demanding flexibility isn’t enough. We have to make it undeniable. It has to work for the employer and the employee. The moment one side loses, both sides do.
And when it works, when we get this right, the upside goes far beyond a better Tuesday morning.
Imagine billions of people travelling less, not once during a lockdown, but as a permanent way of life. Quieter roads. Cleaner air. Companies rethinking how much space they actually need. Less construction. Less daily waste. The freedom to choose where we live based on how we want to live, not where the office happens to be.
That’s a generational shift in how society works. It’s a future worth protecting.
But we only get to keep it if we prove it works and that’s not once, that’s every single day.
That’s what DropTop exists for. Not just a better workspace. The tool that makes sure working from home actually works so that one day, the idea of commuting five days a week sounds just as outdated as working on a Saturday.
