The Allieva Home-working Station by Whynot Design for Foppa Pedretti is a perfect home-office solution through a sleek, foldable form of simple lines that fits in any space.

For its clever design, Allieva Home-working Station has recently been awarded a 2022 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.

In recent years, home-working has become increasingly widespread, creating needs that are often difficult to reconcile with small domestic spaces.

At the same time, distance learning has also given rise to similar needs.

Foppapedretti has found solutions to these changes and latent needs by creating a collection of compact and functional workstations.

The aesthetic design of “Allieva” arises from the dual objective of combining uncompromising practicality with a refined aesthetic that can be easily integrated into any context.

When closed, Allieva takes up as little space as possible thanks to a depth of only 178 millimeters (7 inches), making it perfect for those who live in small houses and shared spaces.

With a simple gesture, the workstation is ready and offers a convenient worktop with two multipurpose trays that also become a practical tablet holder during a video call.

To complete the set-up, a large compartment has been provided at the base of the table that allows you to always have everything at hand and to rearrange the station and close it in a few gestures.

Finally, the four wheels allow the user to move Allieva easily from one room to another, designed for those who need a station that is always ready anywhere.
