Spring System
Standing desks have a long and illustrious history, early proponents commissioned high desks directly from carpenters, or used the taller shelves of bookcases, until manually adjustable sit-stand desks were invented. UniFor’s latest workstation, however, the Spring System designed by architect Antonio Citterio, uses springs to counteract the weight of the desk as it rises.

Snøhetta’s Nature of Technology

Waiting rooms in offices rarely inspire warmth. Built to accommodate brief interludes – your daily entry and exit, ten nervous minutes before an interview, five seconds before your next meeting – these liminal zones often fall victim to sparse, soulless decoration and poor-quality furniture.
