Description of the project by Izaskun Chinchilla
We all spend lot of time in our work places. We need to feel our working space is adapted to the unique necessities we all have. It is really important to create a proper work atmosphere and the architecture and the design of the spaces and furniture is crucial to get it.
For this reason, when the great UTOPIC_US TEAM hired us to design his wonderful Conde de Casal coworking, we focused our work in designing great and unique work desks to create an very inspiring enviroment where people would love to work in.
We also decided to allow users to change the position of all pieces of furniture and to invite then to DIY, customize and appropriation!
We have designed different types of desks using IKEA furniture to make the structure. Do you think you could identify the SVÄRTA bunk bed, FJELLSE bed, BEDDINGE bed drawer or any other of the IKEA items included in our designs checking the following images? Let us know!
This is easy to repeat at home! Is an invitation to understand design as a collective wisdom!. Send us your own IKEA hacked design!.
