* worker table by gronych+dollega architekten creates a new type of desk that integrates a standing desk and facilitates inspired work and communication, with a sleek form and characteristic features.
For its clever design, * worker table has recently been awarded a 2022 Green GOOD DESIGN Sustainability Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
The task was to create a table for creative work, thinking, and discussing, as a standing desk and depository.
The objective was to achieve a minimalistic shape, while the challenge was to produce a table with distinctive features.
To combine all of the above, the table consists of only two elements: a folded wooden plate and metal Y-supports.
The large round foot and top plates absorb the torques of the table.
The Y-supports reduce the span of the tabletop.
Due to its plastic design, the table defines the surrounding space and facilitates communication.
Each angle of vision creates new characteristic features and arouses emotions.
Material is used according to their intrinsic values: wood for the perception as an ample folded table top and metal for an effective and minimalistic Y-support for load transfer.
