The Design

About Democracy Escritorio

Democracy es un escritorio diseñado para espacios de trabajo compartidos. El escritorio elimina los elementos de almacenamiento visibles y los sustituye por una tapa transparente, dos orificios con forma de A4 y un cajón semitransparente. La superficie transparente mantiene el área de trabajo despejada y muestra cómo cada usuario organiza sus objetos personales. La estructura está fabricada con tubos de aluminio con recubrimiento en polvo mate. El cuerpo, las ruedas, la tapa y el cajón se cortan con máquina CNC en acrílico, madera y ABS. El escritorio mide 1230 por 640 por 760 milímetros. Al agrupar varios escritorios, se favorece el trabajo en equipo mientras el carácter individual permanece visible.
