The main inspiration behind Wavy was the graceful movement of water drops. The top of the desk features a ripple effect, reminiscent of the waves created by a falling droplet. This design not only adds visual interest but also serves a practical purpose. The edge of the desk prevents writing supplies from falling to the ground, ensuring a clutter-free workspace.
But Wavy is more than just a desk; it doubles as a meditation tool. The lines on the desk's surface allow users to roll small glass beads, providing a soothing and relaxing experience. It's the perfect way to clear your mind and find inspiration while working or taking a break.
When it comes to materials, Wavy is crafted using a combination of traditional techniques and modern machinery. The main form of the desk is made from Corian, a non-porous artificial stone known for its durability and versatility. This material allows for the creation of curved and rounded shapes, giving Wavy its unique aesthetic. The drawer of the desk is made from oak veneer, adding a touch of warmth to the overall design.
With dimensions of 1100mm in width, 600mm in depth, and 790mm in height, Wavy provides ample space for all your work essentials. Whether you're using a laptop or indulging in watercolor painting, this desk offers a sustainable and durable surface that is not afraid of water. It's a versatile piece of furniture that seamlessly blends functionality with nature-inspired design.
The creation of Wavy was driven by the desire to bring the serenity of nature into our homes, especially during the lockdown when home offices became essential. The desk's non-porous material allows it to be used outdoors, enabling users to work in the garden and enjoy the beauty of nature while being productive.
Recognized for its outstanding design, Wavy has been awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category. This prestigious accolade is bestowed upon designs that showcase creativity, resourcefulness, and a commitment to improving the quality of life. Wavy's incorporation of nature elements and its seamless integration of art, science, design, and technology make it a truly exceptional piece of furniture.
Bring the tranquility of nature to your home office with Wavy, the writing desk that combines functionality, sustainability, and the beauty of water-inspired design.
