Flow Wall Desk

By 09-11-2023

The Flow Wall Desk has the ability to transform itself. Using a simple yet effective design twist, it transforms from a piece of art on the wall into a functional desk by showing off its unique aesthetic.

And only with one twist, it becomes a true joy to have a separate working area when needed. Vertical element emerges from the wall like a caterpillar with the help of specifically placed hinges. These exposed brass hinges establish a visual rhythm and ensure that the form can follow its function. With a single turn by hand around its axis, a tabletop is created and once in its horizontal position, the tabletop is supported by wooden slats, creating a more natural look and organic effect that also serves as a screen for more privacy.

Robert van Embricqs is fascinated by the aesthetically pleasing, yet intricate complexity of the natural form. Finding inspiration for his designs in bone structure, plant life, and movement, one question remained ever present:‘To what a degree is an object capable of dictating its own design?’
