[Baldanzi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandie-collection) & [Novelli](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-executive-chair) design the Worklab mobile office desk and divider for [Narbutas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/round-desk-system) as a multi-functional option for contemporary offices. It blends together many elements including a mobile workstation, a divider, shelving units, a media wall, a whiteboard, and more. This offers many custom options including a selection of colors, finishes, side panels, and accessories.

Baldanzi & Novelli speak about the design and note that “The idea arose from the need to have a dynamic workspace and to break free from orderly office schemes. It has been designed to fit in all those spaces that need to be modified on demand.” Narbutas continues, “It is a handy tool for managing the flow of people and presentation of services, making it ideal for educational institutions, libraries, banks, and post offices."
