The Design

About Wavy Dawati

Ubunifu uliongozwa na mambo ya asili. Dawati la uandishi liliundwa kwa kutumia mandhari ya maji, kusogeza hisia fulani za asili nyumbani. Sehemu ya juu ya dawati huunda athari ya viwimbi ambavyo hufanywa na tone la maji. Ukingo wa dawati la kuandika hufanya kazi. Hairuhusu kuanguka vifaa vya kuandika chini chini. Pia ni kama zana ya kutafakari wakati wa kufikiria au kupumzika, kwa sababu kuna uwezekano wa kukunja marumaru ndogo kwenye mistari. Dawati hufanywa kutoka kwa nyenzo zisizo za porous, kwa hivyo hufungua uwezekano zaidi na uhuru zaidi. Kwa hivyo mtumiaji anaweza kufanya kazi na kompyuta ndogo au kupaka rangi na rangi ya maji.

The design of the writing desk was inspired by nature. More and more people appreciate peace and harmony in their lives and the best place to charge energy for people is nature because we all came from there.

Operation Flow
While designing Wavy desk the idea was to create solid and sustainable furniture. It is made from non-porous material, so it opens up more possibilities and much more freedom.

It also has function – it does not let to fall writing suplies down on the ground. It also works as meditation or relaxing tool when user rolls small glass beads along the lines. And last, but not least there is a comfortable drawer in the front it too for laptop or writing suplies.
