This resourceful foldable desk is an affordable piece of decor that is a capable solution to help promote the sharing of ideas.
Designed by Fraser Callaway and Oliver Ward for 'Co-nnection', this 're-fold' desk is an ingenious solution for more affordable work spaces to facilitate a greater work-rate -- with greater access for more people. Co-nnection is "a platform to facilitate a connection between design students and local studios, creating an experience that will provide insight, initiate relationships and instigate change in design education." With this mindset, as a result of limited workspace, the 're-fold' desk was created.
The desk is flexible and portable -- it can easily be folded and put away in storage or transported. This resourceful foldable desk is the perfect solution for low-income and/or overpopulated areas to provide workspaces for students -- giving them space to learn and grow.
