The Gumpo 'Flipchart' is a distinctly minimal unit for the workplace or classroom that puts a focus on ideation and organization to keep users on the right track towards their next great idea. Designed by Gerhardt Kellermann and Ana Relvao for Gumpo, the chart is comprised of just three panels in total; two vertical ones that are held in place by a third horizontal one that also acts as a surface for writing utensils. The vertical panels have wheels on one end for easily moving it around a space to ensure that brainstorming can be done anywhere within a space instead of designated rooms.
The Gumpo 'Flipchart' has a fuss-free design that speaks to the rise of workplace minimalism as professionals seek to eliminate unnecessary clutter in favor of a more efficient environment.
