About Dava Werkruimte

Dava is ontwikkeld voor open ruimte kantoren, scholen en universiteiten waar rustige en geconcentreerde werkfasen belangrijk zijn. De modules verminderen akoestische en visuele storingen. Door de driehoekige vorm zijn de meubels ruimtebesparend en bieden ze verschillende indelingsmogelijkheden. De materialen van Dava zijn WPC en wolvilt, die beide biologisch afbreekbaar zijn. Een plug-in systeem bevestigt de twee wanden aan het tafelblad en onderstreept de eenvoud in productie en hantering.

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.
