The Design

About Democracy Skrivebord

Democracy er et skrivebord designet for delte arbeidsområder. Skrivebordet fjerner synlige oppbevaringsredskaper og erstatter dem med en gjennomsiktig topplate, to A4-formede hull og en halvgjennomsiktig skuff. Den klare overflaten holder arbeidsområdet åpent og viser hvordan hver bruker organiserer sine personlige gjenstander. Rammen er laget av aluminiumsrør med en matt pulverlakkering. Kroppen, hjulene, platen og skuffen er kuttet med CNC-maskin fra akryl, tre og ABS. Skrivebordet måler 1230 ganger 640 ganger 760 millimeter. Når flere skrivebord grupperes sammen, støttes teamarbeid samtidig som individuell karakter forblir synlig.
