Design Challenge
The main challenge was all the process. Creating a solid harmonious form, finding the balance between the function and making it special with nature elements.
Research
During the lockdown home offices became very important place. The main idea was to create a comfortable place to feel some nature at home. Also it is possible to incorporate Wavy desk into nature. Because of its material, it is not afraid of water. So it is possible to work sitting in the garden too.
Inspiration
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. The writing desk was created using water theme, to move some feeling of nature to home. The main inspiration was water drop. Top of the desk creates an effect of waves which are made by dripping water.
Project Duration
Project location is Vilnius, Lithuania.
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. User can work with laptop or paint with watercolor. Desk is sustainable, durable, not afraid of water and is easily renewable. The main accent is waves, surrounding desk's edge. 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.
