Anastasia Gavrilova, in collaboration with Rafael Gaynullin, has created a design that stands out in its functionality and aesthetics. The MovePlace is a portable workplace that can be easily moved and stored in a folded state. It offers a practical size for use and occupies minimal space when not in use. The design includes a special bag for storing a computer and other personal items, which can be removed and taken away. The unique shape of the table allows for various forms of space organization for working groups, such as round table and bench-system setups.
The design realization technology involves the use of metal tubes for the legs, made by bending and welding, and a worktop made of colored polycarbonate by cutter. Transparent silicone wheels are used for easy mobility. The bag is made of leather or textiles, adding a touch of sophistication to the design. This design is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing, with a minimalist construction of colored polycarbonate and metal.
The MovePlace was launched in September 2013 in Moscow and has since been exhibited at various international design events, including the Salone del Mobile in Milan. It is currently being prepared for mass production. The design has been recognized for its innovation and creativity, winning the Silver A' Furniture Design Award in 2019. This award is given to designs that demonstrate outstanding expertise and innovation, and that introduce positive feelings, amazement, and wonder.
The design process involved a series of challenges, including ensuring the ease of folding the table and maintaining a balance between the full size of the workplace, its functionality, and mobility. The designers also had to ensure that the design was light, steady, and ergonomic. After a series of experiments with models of metal wire and cardboard, they found the ideal functional and aesthetic form.
In conclusion, the MovePlace by Anastasia Gavrilova is a groundbreaking design that brings a new level of flexibility and personal comfort to the workspace. It is a testament to the power of design in transforming everyday objects and spaces, and in enhancing our lifestyle. The MovePlace is a design that truly moves with the times.
