The ili Laptop Stand STORY and us!

The ili Laptop Stand was created when we spent several months working abroad. We were looking for a portable laptop stand that could not only bring the screen high enough but also close enough so we wouldn't hurt our backs and necks. Most importantly, we wanted it to be made of sustainable materials. From this, the first version of the ili Laptop Stand was born.

Since then, we refined the ili Laptop Stand by revisiting its design, making it more ergonomic, elegant and ever lighter. It follows the concept of sustainable development by considering its environmental, societal and economic impact. Its sleek new design is turning lots of heads and gives us office ergonomics everywhere we go!

Céline

I have a PhD in Engineering and, after more than 10 years in academia, I wanted to apply my skills to something else because life is too short not to give it a go! I believe in fairness, positive impact and in the essence of trying to achieve balance in our lives. So here it went, spending long nights engineering this beloved laptop stand, fuelled with good drinks and chocolate.

Zeno

Zeno is an established entrepreneur with 20 years under his belt who doesn’t like to dwell on himself so I (Céline) wrote a wee description of him so you get to know him. He is basically a little genius, always with new ideas for great products to make our lives easier. On top of that, he has the practical skills to bring these products to life! He is an incredibly clever and bright human being.

Our Values

The ili Laptop Stand aims to follow the concept of sustainable development by considering its societal, economic and environmental impact.

We aimed to develop a product that benefits society by improving the working environment and well-being of laptop users. We wanted a product that was economically sustainable for us as a business and affordable for the people who would use it. It was important to us to keep our environmental footprint and wastage to a minimum through good design and by choosing materials with environmental certifications, high recyclability credentials or biodegradable characteristics.

From our packaging to the ili Laptop Stand, everything has been carefully considered and designed to balance these three pillars to the best of our ability.
