About Democracy デスク

「Democracy」は、シェアードワークスペースのためにデザインされたデスクです。目に見える収納什器を取り除き、その代わりに透明な天板、A4サイズの2つの開口部、そして半透明の引き出しを備えています。クリアな天面は作業領域を開放的に保ち、各ユーザーが個人の持ち物をどのように配置しているかを可視化します。フレームはマットな粉体塗装を施したアルミパイプで構成されています。本体、キャスター、プレート、引き出しは、アクリル、木材、ABSをCNCマシンで切削加工して製作されています。サイズは幅1230×奥行640×高さ760ミリメートル。複数のデスクをまとめて配置すると、チームワークを促しながらも、個々の個性が見える状態を保ちます。
