Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Diag is a simple, modern desk consisting of a wooden desktop supported by steel legs. Slightly raised and curved edges prevent objects from falling and the notches in it are dedicated to hold optional leather organizers. Desk is available in veneer and solid wood or lacquered mdf version and brushed stainless steel or anthracite structural laquered base.
- Inspiration
- the author's own thoughts on the conditions and the way of performing the desk function were the inspiration for the creation of the Diag project. The main goal when developing the concept was to obtain a piece of furniture that could be used in both residential and office space. It was important to find an original solution for storing writing instruments.
- Challenge
- The creative challenge of the Diag project was to propose a new form with the use of as simple a structure as possible, as well as a non-stereotypical solution of the storage function of accessories reduced to a minimum.
- Realization and Technology
- Metal base made of structural anthacite laquer or brushed stainless steel as option, top finishing with oak or walnut weneer or solid colour laquer as an option.
- Operation and Interaction
- The project was very positively received by the recipients during the fair presentations. Attention was paid to the attractive form and optional aspects, such as, for example, raised edges to prevent items from falling off the top, as well as the available accessories.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project was presented for the first time at the Meble Polska 2019 International Furniture Fair in Poznań, awarded with the MTP Gold Medal in the Premier category
