It stems from minimal design language and readies for school environments. The Milan-based designer focuses on an [easy-to-assemble design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arba) that comes together to create a [desk and chair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tobifant). The new set for schools uses very minimal materials as it starts off with [sheets of wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mt-chair) that are cut into basic shapes needed to form furniture. To hold together the designs some rope and a wooden ball that help with the assembly. The rest of the range includes L-brackets for the cross-member, grommets to help prevent fringing of the rope, and hinges that hold the parts flat.
