Hybrid Between a Meeting Table and a Writing Desk: The XTRA LARGE Project
Office spaces and the way we work in them are radically changing and so are the demands on furniture and interior for meeting places. That’s why Offecct, together with Claesson Koivisto Rune, have developed the XTRA LARGE Project. The table offers a big, clean surface and can be extended by adding more units. Below each unit are beams functioning as its power grid, meaning that cords earlier placed on the tabletop now can easily be kept under the table, making work much easier for everyone sitting around the table.
XTRA LARGE table is the result of a more than 15 years creative and successful collaboration between Claesson Koivisto Rune and Offecct: “With the table XTRA LARGE we wanted to create a hybrid between a meeting table and a writing desk; a table big enough to work undisturbed with your laptop but still be able to start up a conversation with someone sitting opposite. Even if there is a meeting taking place at the far end of the table. We have maximised a regular table with all the functions demanded in a modern office today. You could say that this table is the equivalent of a Hercules airplane“, explained the designers. [Photos and information provided via e-mail by Claesson Koivisto Rune]
