DESKER, a furniture brand that grows alongside people who are just getting started, has enhanced its standing as a startup furniture brand by winning a Winner award in the product design category at the '2022 Red Dot Design Award'—one of the world's three most prestigious design awards—for its 'Start-Up-Grade' furniture series.
As hybrid work has taken hold in the wake of COVID-19, offices that allow flexible space configuration tailored to user needs are drawing attention. DESKER unveiled the Start-Up-Grade furniture series to reflect this trend, and its design and product capabilities were recognized at this Red Dot Award.
Start-Up-Grade is a furniture series whose layout can be reconfigured according to various work styles. It is well suited to agile work environments that require quick transitions and high efficiency, as well as to startup and small-office interiors. The series comprises caster-type multipurpose tables, felt storage accessories, mobile boards, and power strips, and boasts a minimal design and color palette that harmonizes with other furnishings. Its light weight and simple yet sturdy structure make the furniture easy to move. Its compact, slim design, tailored to small office spaces, makes it easy to store when not in use and highly space-efficient.
The mobile board of the Start-Up-Grade series can be used like a partition to divide space, and the free arrangement of tables and boards creates a creative meeting space. Even when moving to a different spot, users can conveniently power their IT devices with the mobile power strip. The felt storage bins, which make it easy to store writing instruments and office supplies, feature built-in magnets for easy attachment and removal.
For environmental protection and sustainability, DESKER actively uses recyclable steel and aluminum materials as well as E0-grade eco-friendly wood.
A DESKER representative said, "The Start-Up-Grade series achieved the remarkable feat of winning a Winner award at the Red Dot Award in recognition of its functionality and design, which allow users to move quickly between focus and communication in the office and expand the utility of the space," adding, "Through the Start-Up-Grade series, which reflects the changing office environment and trends, we hope our customers will create even more efficient and creative work spaces."
