Vienna-based custom studio furniture maker UNTERLASS Studiomöbel has just released their new KEY88 TOPRACK premium studio desk, designed specifically for composers, musicians, and producers seeking the perfect blend of ergonomics, flexibility, and precision.
Design & Features
The KEY88 TOPRACK’s standout feature is its dual top racks (from which it derives part of its name), which can be mounted either at an angle (providing 2U of rack space) or flat (offering 3U of rack space) independently of each other. This versatile configuration allows for flexible positioning of outboard gear while keeping everything within easy reach from the sweet spot. When not needed, these racks can be closed with 3U panels for a clean, professional appearance.
The desk features UNTERLASS’s proprietary ULGDS (UNTERLASS Linear Guides Drawer System) keyboard drawer, which provides:
- Eight adjustable height positions (95-186mm)
- Locking in any position for maximum flexibility
- Ultra-stable support for even the heaviest 88-key master keyboards (a great match for the Arturia Keylab Mk3 88!)
- A slim 2mm steel tray design that maximizes legroom
Cable management is thoroughly considered with two cable trays that can be mounted in three different positions, dedicated cable outlets on both sides of the tabletop, and routing through the crossbar directly into the cable channel for a clutter-free workspace.

Customization Options
The KEY88 TOPRACK offers extensive customization with over 30 color options including:
- Various powder coatings
- Different tabletop and leg finishes
- Real wood veneer options
- All NCS or RAL colors for lacquered legs
- Custom combinations (like American walnut legs with a black tabletop)
Specifications
- Dimensions: 1650 × 875 × 784 mm (L × W × H)
- Maximum keyboard length: 1495 mm
- Weight: approximately 120 kg (in packaging)
- Working space: 165 × 70 cm
Expandability
For those needing additional rack space, UNTERLASS offers a 16U 19″ Extension Kit or 16U 19″ Standalone Rack that can be added to either or both sides. Optional steel nearfield desktop monitor shelves are also available.
Pricing & Availability
The KEY88 TOPRACK is available now, priced at €1,660 (excluding VAT), directly from UNTERLASS Studiomöbel. This new release builds upon the success of their previous KEY 88 model (without top racks) which has been popular among composers and producers seeking a stable platform for heavy master keyboards.
With its robust construction, thoughtful design features, and extensive customization options, the KEY88 TOPRACK represents a significant addition to UNTERLASS’s lineup of premium studio furniture that has been handcrafted in Austria since 2009.
