Founded by Jérôme Bart and Leyla Bilen, the start-up Zenho is launching a unique concept: an intelligent nomadic office that packs away like a suitcase. An ingenious response to the daily challenges of teleworkers, particularly in restricted urban spaces.
While its release is scheduled for early 2025, we were able to meet one of the founders of Zenho, who introduced us to this very original nomadic office.

How was the idea for this innovative nomadic office born?
The story of Zenho begins with a simple observation: as a manager of teleworking teams since the Covid period, Jérôme Bart was able to observe the difficulties encountered by his colleagues in maintaining optimal working conditions at home. The observation is clear: a solution was missing to reconcile professional performance and personal well-being in often limited spaces.
Faced with this challenge, the Zenho team teamed up with a design office to develop a revolutionary concept: a “big suitcase” that transforms into a real ergonomic workstation. The fruit of several months of research and development has resulted in a piece of furniture that fits discreetly into the domestic environment while providing all the tools necessary for a productive workday.
What exactly does this next-generation desktop contain?
The nomadic office includes a complete set of carefully selected premium equipment:
- a place to hang headphones
- a secondary screen to optimize productivity
- an integrated connection system allowing a durable installation
- backlighting designed for visual comfort
- a blackboard for note-taking and organization
Attention to detail is also evident in responsible product design. Made in France, Zenho favors carefully selected materials and optimized transport circuits. Thus, most of the elements of the nomadic office are produced and assembled in the center of France.
At what price and how to obtain the Zenho desk?
Zenho’s business strategy revolves around two distinct markets. For businesses, the office is priced at €990 excluding VATwith an option to leasing at around €35 per month. Companies can personalize the office in the colors of their employer brand in order to strengthen the bond with their teleworking teams.
For individuals, particularly the self-employed and self-employed, the price is set at €948, all equipment included.
The pre-order phase is currently open, with preferential prices for the first customers. The first deliveries are planned for the end of March or the beginning of April 2025the time necessary to adjust production tools and guarantee quality French manufacturing.

What are Zenho’s ambitions?
Zenho’s ambitions go far beyond French borders. The start-up is aiming for European expansion. It targets large metropolises where the problem of teleworking in restricted spaces is particularly acute.
The start-up is already imagining the future of its products with an innovative reconditioning project. The first generations of Zenho desks will be reconditioned to be offered at preferential prices to associations and students, in order to make its innovation accessible to a public with less comfortable finances.
