The typical office desk is usually characterised as a simple and formal piece of office furniture. Kuubo takes an innovative approach to the humble office desk, it was created by the Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa for the Swiss furniture manufacturer Vitra. The desk aims to be stylish and functional by providing elegantly hidden extra storage space, something many offices are in dire need of.
Fukasawa has designed a versatile work surface that gives users different options that go against this trend by reducing everything to the bare essentials. It can be considered a team centre, functioning as a temporary workstation, conference and meeting table, a manager’s desk with space for clients etc..
