DeskMakers’ Sidekick Mobile Pedestal Collection Awarded Design Patent
October 1, 2025 | Commerce, CA — DeskMakers, a leader in versatile and innovative workspace solutions, is proud to announce that its Sidekick mobile pedestal collection has been awarded a design patent. Sidekick, designed by David Winston during his tenure as Vice President of Product Design at DeskMakers, delivers mobility, storage, and adjustable-height work surfaces in one sleek, multifunctional solution for today’s hybrid, in-office, and remote employees.
“Sidekick was designed to give people the freedom to shape how and where they work,” said David Winston, Principal and Design Director for Design Work Creative. “The old forms of office furniture no longer serve today’s hybrid and remote reality. Sidekick is a fun, compact, mobile companion that brings all the features of a workstation into a flexible adaptable format.”
Sidekick’s patented design provides unparalleled flexibility, enabling teams to quickly reconfigure their workspaces. Available in four distinct models, Sidekick features pneumatic lift tabletops, locking tambour cabinets, traditional two-door or single-door storage units, and a workhorse model with a sliding padded seat and hidden storage. Multiple finishes allow for personalization and branding across offices of all sizes.
“Sidekick’s patent recognition is a testament to DeskMakers’ commitment to innovation,” said Phil Polishook, CEO of DeskMakers. “We’re excited to offer a product that is not only functional and flexible but also officially recognized for its design excellence.”
Engineered for the modern workplace, Sidekick supports equity and inclusivity by providing every team member with a space to call their own. Beyond offices, Sidekick adapts seamlessly to education and IT environments, serving as a lectern, projection equipment storage, or secure mobile storage for tech teams.
The Sidekick collection is available now. For more information, visit https://deskmakers.com/products/storage/sidekick
