Antina's Hardcore Tech: Yihang's Digital-Intelligence Journey
In the 5G era, the pandemic has acted like a catalyst, accelerating the growth of China's smart economy. According to Qianzhan Industry Research Institute, China's smart furniture market is forecast to be in an AIoT empowerment phase (the practical convergence of AI and the Internet of Things) from 2020 to 2023, with full-scale explosion expected in 2023.
Look at the premium business office furniture segment: much of today's "next wave" of young presidents comes from emerging and tech-driven industries—post-80s executives—yet the market is still dominated by superficially smart furniture that ignores users' real needs and overlooks the "healthy work" core they crave.
"How do we comprehensively reinvent smart furniture?" became a new research focus for Yihang Technology, a leader in intelligent manufacturing. The delightful answer: Yihang Technology joined hands with the renowned German design team Form And Branch to polish and launch the Atlas Antina flagship collection, stepping first onto the golden track of smart offices.
Hardcore Digital Intelligence Triggers the "Contactless Economy"
In the post-pandemic era, achieving true "zero contact" is an urgent, real-world problem—especially in premium executive spaces, where assistants, secretaries, and cleaning staff all share and maintain the same desk. From this insight, Yihang Technology found its high ground for innovation-driven manufacturing: the "contactless economy."
Thanks to forward-looking vision and craftsmanship that pursues perfection, Yihang developed a mature desk lifting system. Unlike the common "one-touch screen," the Atlas Antina smart executive desk achieves touchless, gesture-sensing height adjustment. A built-in 3D gesture-sensing module wakes the desk instantly when a hand hovers 10cm above the surface—"raise on the right, lower on the left, stop anywhere"—effectively preventing cross-contamination and promoting healthy work for premium business users.
An application of black tech like this overturns traditional views of the furniture industry, but for Yihang Technology it was perhaps no surprise. Back at the 2019 World Internet Conference, Yihang Technology's Yune smart chair earned featured coverage on CCTV. Yihang Technology was founded in 1991 and has consistently pursued innovation and European-American design; it has accumulated more than 1,200 patents and won 30 European and American design awards.
Premium Original Design Exploring Service Value in the Cloud Era
"The Antina executive collection achieves a new breakthrough in the interaction of people, objects, and space." Through an earlier interview with the General Manager of Yihang Technology's Central Research Institute, we learned that the Atlas Antina series overcame key process challenges to become the first time Yihang Technology applied smart digital-display technology to office furniture.
The digital display uses strain-gauge measurement and digital processing technology with an intelligent touchless wake feature. The lifting height—750 to 1,120mm—is visualized right on the desktop, precise to the millimeter, letting premium business users adjust their working posture in an instant. The entire lifting process is quiet and smooth, and the desktop has a built-in wireless rail with a wireless charging zone, greatly enhancing the desk's practical value.
In the AI-empowered era, smart furniture is seen as the new entry point for internet applications. To meet the upgrading demands of its customer base, the Atlas Antina executive collection conquered dozens of process challenges in its pursuit of perfection in detail and quality. The Antina series has already earned 9 patents—clear evidence of the deep investment in smart interaction and core technology R&D.
The digital-intelligence business desk Atlas Antina combines international light-luxury artistry with the future of smart work, creating truly era-defining smart office furniture that matches the taste of those at the top. Once again, Yihang Technology stands at the forefront of the trend.
