In recent months, some people have never returned to their offices, either by choice (it’s the moment of the ‘Great Resignation’ and freelancing) or due to yet another Covid-19 limitation. Others have plunged into a new age of labor: alternating home and office. For those who work from home, constantly or on certain days of the week, here are some solutions to make the experience as elegant as possible. Without sacrificing comfort.
If you work from home only once in a while, and do not have a room to set up as a studio, the ideal solution might be the Fju desk designed by kashkash for Living Divani (on cover): with its minimal, super-linear style, it is equipped with a practical fold-back worksurface that can be closed to free up space. The space-saver system is composed of a compartment for papers and a shelf that transforms into a desk.
Trypta by Luceplan, Design Stephen Burks
An innovative system of suspension lamps with sound-absorbing properties, created by the American designer and professor of architecture at Columbia University Stephen Burks. It’s the Trypta system by Luceplan, a company that since 2012 has designed multifunctional acoustic solutions whose leading features are light and aural comfort. The Trypta system is equipped with two light sources, also for separate use, with three levels of adjustable sound absorption while providing direct and indirect lighting. The decorative impact is the result of acoustic panels covered in colorful fabric.
DeCode by De Castelli, Design Pino Scaglione
Max by Maxalto, Design Antonio Citterio
A wall decoration that is not only beautiful, but also useful: DeCode by De Castelli (design Pino Scaglione) offers a collection of hexagonal sound-absorbing modules designed by Pino Scaglione that are functional, technological and aesthetically appealing. The system of laser cutting and perforation of the metal surfaces, combined with the insertion of a recycled polyester pad inside each piece, guarantee great acoustic and soundproofing performance. Between the technical and decorative dimensions, DecoDe is a project that permits personalized compositions. For both public and private settings.
Max by Maxalto (design Antonio Citterio) is a desk that brings the classic secretaire to mind, interpreted in a modern and contemporary way. The structure stands out for the X-shaped arrangement of the steel legs, the geometric lines of the drawers and the fold-back worktop that comes in pale oak, black or natural wenge. With unique but compact sizing, when the unit is closed it becomes an elegant console.
