The Design

About Wavy Escritorio

El diseño se inspiró en elementos de la naturaleza. El escritorio se creó utilizando el tema del agua, para trasladar una sensación de naturaleza al hogar. La parte superior del escritorio crea un efecto de ondas que son hechas por gotas de agua. El borde del escritorio cumple una función. No deja caer útiles de escritura al suelo. También es una herramienta de meditación mientras piensa o se relaja, porque existe la posibilidad de hacer rodar pequeñas canicas a lo largo de las líneas. El escritorio está hecho de material no poroso, por lo que abre más posibilidades y mucha más libertad. Para que el usuario pueda trabajar con una computadora portátil o pintar con acuarela.
