About Dava Wurkromte
Dava is ûntwikkele foar iepen romte-kantoaren, skoallen en universiteiten wêr't stille en konsintreare wurkfazen wichtich binne. De modulen ferminderje akoestyske en fisuele fersteuringen. Fanwegen syn trijehoekige foarm is it meubilêr romte-effisjint en lit in ferskaat oan arranzjemintsopsjes tastean. De materialen fan Dava binne WPC en wolfilt, dy't beide biologysk ôfbrekber binne. In plug-in systeem fixeart de twa muorren oan 'e tafelblad en ûnderstreke ienfâld yn produksje en ôfhanneling.

- Production Technology
- For Dava two sustainable and biodegradable materials are used, WPC from Jeluplast and wool felt, both of which are 100% organic and fully compostable. WPC ensures sufficient stiffness and stability and is also relatively light, at 1.1 g/cm3, which ensures easy handling. The material can be applied by injection moulding, which enables cost-efficient production in large quantities. A dove-tail joint, which fixes the two walls to the tabletop, underlines the simplicity in production and handling. This means that no screws or external fasteners are required.
- Design Challenge
- In order to design the product as simple as possible for the user, great value was placed on the best material. Sustainability, feasibility, serial production and affordability played a role in this decision.
- Research
- The project was entitled YOU for the NDU and the task of this Semesterproject was, to find and define a design problem of the university building and to solve the task appropriately. Through extensive research, the research problem was first defined, which deals with the lack of space to be able to work in seclusion and undisturbed by outer influences. This was followed by the idea generation and design phase, which required both 2-diemensional and 3-dimensional working models. Further steps were detail development, 3D visualisations and the implementation of a prototype on a scale of 1:1. The design phase began in the sketchbook.
- Inspiration
- Open space offices, schools and universities, where quiet and concentrated work phases are important, are often characterised by acoustic and visual stimulus saturation. Great growth, lack of space or lack of rooms often mean that there is no space to withdraw, and so furniture is necessary that is highly flexible in its arrangement and adaptable to changing circumstances.
- Project Duration
- The Project started in September 2018 at the New Design University St. Poelten and was revised in September 2019.
- Operation Flow
- A simple plug-in system allows quick and easy storage of the objects. Furthermore, the walls can be removed and used on already existing tables, against visual and acoustic disturbances. The walls can be slid into each other for storage to save space.
