Elegant Piano-Inspired Workstations

The 'Intermodality' Desk Has an Angular, Origami-Like Design

The 'Intermodality' desk is a dramatic furniture creation that draws inspiration from grand pianos to make the workstation a prominent fixture in the home. Boasting an oversized design and ample space for working, the desk opens at various points to reveal storage space for keeping work essentials stored and out of sight.

The furniture piece is crafted from antiqued plywood along with copper trimmings that create a demure look and feel that is suitable for placement in a traditional office space or left out in the open as a statement piece. This speaks to the increased demand for furniture designs that are suitable for open-concept living spaces.

The 'Intermodality' desk is the design work of Attila Stromajer and is the winner of the 2019 A’ Design Award.
