DESK FOR TWO
(2021)
A desk for two, designed to be assembled out of the box with no screws or glue.
This version required metal runners for the drawers, but subsequent versions are true to the cause with wood runners, thus requiring no additional parts for assembly.
One of the goals of this purity is to reduce waste, partly by enabling a longer life cycle, partly by simplyfying end-of-life repurposing and recycling. Small screws, runners and connecting systems can be lost or damaged over time and typically become irreplaceable as the industry moves on, but it’s easy enough to shape wood into shape.
Plywood however, is mostly not biodegradable because of the glue used to bond the wood. There are alternatives that use wood based glues which we are exploring, and I am working on designs that can be implemented with solid wood.
