With AZ desk (patent pending) we are getting involved in the children's furniture market with environmentally responsible considerations. We all at some point had an emotional connection to an object we had shared a unique personal history with. But how can we develop children’s furniture without making it obsolete over time? This is why I have created AZ desk, a desk designed with the life cycle of the user in mind that can travel with the child into his/her future endeavours. This project has been designed based on ecologically sustainable development principles.
The vertical blackboard with a magnetic surface can be converted into an ergonomic work surface and be adapted to the user's size from young children to adults. The desk is made using birchwood ply panels providing a good stability and a solid aspect to the unit; its texture, grain and natural colour stimulate the development of the child's senses.
