It takes its name from a Geneva doctor Théodore Tronchin (1709-1781) who published at the time works on bone diseases related to the bad position that one adopts at his work table and on the advantages that it There would be a need to create a table with a tilting desk that would keep your back straight and thus avoid any deformation or pain, whether you work sitting or standing. The innovation of this 18th century table comes from a mechanism concealed in the thickness of the belt and which allows the top to be raised to the desired height. Thus, the top of this table, which could be solid or equipped with a leather-covered desk, can be tilted to the desired angle thanks to a notched desk, and raised thanks to a set of two or four racks concealed at the inside of the feet.
