Zen Desk
A desk for smart working, with a partition that shuts out distractions.
Remote working, #pandemic: people's activities are forcibly moving to remote locations, and new solutions must be found to cope with the new paradigm during the pandemic. Ergonomic: ergonomics affects the state of health of the worker, both physically and psychologically. Everyday objects should apply the affordance of the user. Isolation: visual or acoustic isolation helps to clarify the boundaries of the working state. It enables flexibility of work. Space: home is private, but not completely without noise. Clutter can spoil the mood, and it is important to create a tidy space.
The separé blocks the view and diffuses the light, so the desk feels calm.
- Note 01 A lamp in the shape of an adjustable oriental lantern creates a partition that allows you to isolate yourself from the domestic environment.
- Note 02 The partition has an internal light source and acts as a light diffuser that, integrated into a translucent shade, distributes light throughout the workspace.
- Note 03 The undercounter helps to organise the worktop.
