Thinking Works Glider Double
Two Screens, Edge to Edge
The Glider double (GL-MA-1200) puts two gas spring arms on one desk clamp, each carrying a 17 to 32-inch screen of 3 to 9 kg, straight or curved. Each screen moves on its own: tilt 45 degrees each way, swivel 90 degrees each way and rotation through 180 degrees each way, with 440 mm of full arm extension.
Two quick-release VESA heads make fitting the screens a lift-on, and cables run along each arm.
From Behind
Two Heads, Square to You
From the back you can see how the design works: each head travels along its own arm, so the two screens can be brought together or apart and stay square to you. Cable management runs along each arm.
One finish, 085: Noir Black arms, base and VESA plates with a white trim. The desk clamp suits worktops 10 to 60 mm thick, and the laptop tray (VA-MA-1500) is an optional accessory.
The Details
Five Things That Make It a Glider
Two arms on one clamp, independent screens, the heads, the finish and the laptop tray accessory.
Two Arms, One Clamp
Two gas spring arms on one desk clamp, each carrying a 17 to 32-inch screen of 3 to 9 kg, straight or curved.
Screens Side by Side
Each screen moves on its own, so two screens can sit side by side or be angled independently.
Heads That Travel
From behind you can see each head travel along its arm, with cable management running along each arm.
Noir Black, White Trim
One finish, 085: Noir Black arms, base and VESA plates with a white trim.

Thinking Works is an Australian furniture company, founded in Sydney in 1984 and based in Moorebank, making workstations, tables, screens, mobile furniture and monitor arms. We stock its monitor arms because Thinking Works publishes the specification for each one, and the Glider gives a straight or curved screen a gas spring arm with a design finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
If the screen weighs 3 to 9 kg without its stand, is 17 to 32 inches, straight or curved, and has 75 or 100 mm VESA holes, yes. Use the weight from the maker's specification sheet. Under 3 kg, look at the Vader (from 1 kg); over 9 kg, the 2:22 Curve (to 27 kg flat).
Yes, within the rating: each arm takes its own 17 to 32-inch screen of 3 to 9 kg, straight or curved, and moves on its own, so a larger and a smaller screen can be set side by side.
The desk clamp suits worktops 10 to 60 mm thick and needs a clear back edge. If your desk has a modesty panel or beam in the way, call 02 9640 0642 before you order.
Both are Thinking Works gas spring arms for 17 to 32-inch screens, straight or curved. The Glider takes 3 to 9 kg and comes in Noir Black with white trim. The Vader takes 1 to 9 kg, comes in black or white, and has a desk clamp and a bolt-through mount for thicker tops.
No. The Thinking Works laptop tray (VA-MA-1500) is an optional accessory. Choose it in the options above and it ships with the arm; the price shown for that option includes the tray.
