Features and Benefits of a Lectern
Elegant Design and Functionality
A lectern is more than just a piece of furniture; it serves as an elegant design element in any speaking environment. Typically made from quality materials, a good lectern complements the decor while providing functionality for the speaker. Speakers can confidently stand behind it, allowing them to project their voice and maintain eye contact with the audience, because the design encourages engagement and professionalism.
Portability and Ease of Use
One of the key advantages of a lectern is its portability. Many modern designs include features like wheels, making it easy to move from one location to another. Whether in a classroom, conference room, or event hall, the ease of use allows speakers to set up quickly and efficiently. This is particularly beneficial for organizations that frequently host events or gatherings, so the convenience of a mobile lectern cannot be understated.
Organizational Features for Speakers
A well-designed lectern usually comes equipped with useful organizational features. These may include shelves for notes, compartments for electronic devices, and even microphone stands. Such features help speakers stay organized, so they can focus more on delivering their message rather than fumbling for their materials. Because of these advantages, investing in a quality lectern is ideal for anyone who frequently presents in front of an audience.
Hi, I’m Morten Skipper
I’ve spent over 30 years designing and building high-end furniture for clients around the world — from custom heirlooms to contemporary showpieces. In that time, I’ve mastered both traditional and modern furniture and decor techniques, and trained countless apprentices in the craft's. I created these designs and all the course on this website to give you the same step-by-step skills I use in my workshop — so you can confidently aquire the skills you want. Whether you’re restoring a family treasure or creating something brand new. I hope you enjoy Craft'n Build as much as I’ve enjoyed creating it for you.
Let’s get started.
What our customers say
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clean geometry, imported perfectly. "I run a small joinery shop and needed a mid-century piece to add to our catalog. I bought this to test on our 3-axis CNC. The STP file imported into Fusion 360 without a single error—no broken surfaces or naked edges. The geometry is solid and watertight, which made generating toolpaths incredibly easy. Saved me about 40 hours of modeling time." Custom Furniture Maker
Dereck S
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for making router templates. "To be clear for anyone reading: this is a digital file, not a chair! I bought this to build the chair manually. I used the 3D model to slice cross-sections and print out full-scale paper templates for my bandsaw and shaper. The design itself is beautiful, and having the 3D model let me inspect the joinery angles before I cut any expensive walnut. A steal at this price." Hobbyist Woodworker
Jack F
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High-quality NURBS surfaces. "Rare to find downloadable furniture assets that aren't just messy polygon meshes. This is actual manufacturable CAD. I use Rhino 8, and the included .3dm file was native and organized. I modified the armrest width slightly to fit a custom client request, and the topology was easy to edit. Will be buying more designs from here." , Interior Designer
Andrew P
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Paid for itself immediately. "I’m a decent builder but a slow modeler. I wanted to build a Gillon-style chair for a client but didn't have the time to draw it up from scratch. Downloading this file gave me immediate access to professional dimensions and curves. It’s a serious professional asset, not just a pretty picture." — Construct Design Studio
Collins M
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible learning resource. "I'm studying furniture design and bought this just to see how a professional chair is put together. Dissecting the file and seeing how the surfaces blend at the joints was a masterclass in itself. If you want to learn how to model organic furniture, this is the best $ you can spend."
Harris K
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly what I needed for my project. "Excellent 3D data. I used the STP file in SolidWorks to plan out a build for my home office. Just a heads up to others: you are buying the plans (the digital 3D model), not the furniture! But if you have the skills to build it, the detailing on this drawing is top-tier."
