These August 2020 furniture innovations speak to eco-conscious consumers, those working remotely during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and those making a cautious return to offices during reopening stages.
With work-from-home rituals continuing for many globally, examples like the 'Clikclax' desk accessory line marry aesthetics with functional safety features. The modular workplace partition acts as a protective barrier between desks in offices that require social distancing and are also a great separator option for those with makeshift at-home workspaces. Designed by Australian architect Zahava Elenberg, Clikclax is an ideal solution in households where multiple residents are remotely working at the same time and where privacy can be scarce.
Another notable example is the 'Watch and Roll' child's rocking chair by Aron TSANG Wai-Chun and Natalie KO Tsz-Ching of the Napp Studio & Architects. The furniture piece is crafted from recycled cardboard sourced from discarded TV packaging and is a clever and sustainable design solution for kids.
