The Design

About Wavy Bureau

Le design a été inspiré par des éléments de la nature. Le bureau a été créé sur le thème de l'eau, pour apporter une touche de nature à la maison. Le dessus du bureau crée un effet d'ondulations qui sont faites par la goutte d'eau. Le bord du bureau remplit une fonction. Il ne laisse pas tomber les fournitures d'écriture sur le sol. C'est aussi un outil de méditation tout en réfléchissant ou en se relaxant, car il est possible de faire rouler de petites billes le long des lignes. Le bureau est fabriqué à partir d'un matériau non poreux, il ouvre donc plus de possibilités et beaucoup plus de liberté. Ainsi, l'utilisateur peut travailler avec un ordinateur portable ou peindre à l'aquarelle.
