The Milan-based designer and design professor opted for minimal materials and hardware: Sheet goods cut in simple shapes, rope, a wooden ball to help knot the rope, grommets to prevent the rope from fraying, hinges to allow the piece to fold flat for transport or storage, and simple L-brackets to attach the single cross-member.
“The idea satisfies the need to make the school desk a simple element to assemble and disassemble according to needs. Through the movement of the ropes and with the same closing gesture as a backpack, it can be quickly disassembled.”
