Woodwork (2020), design Joel Karlsson, is both a desk and a meeting table, a large shared surface for work and socialising of the kind that has become known as a ‘community table. It’s the perfect setting for bringing your team together for a working breakfast before you all continue to work side by side as the morning progresses. Then it’s time for feedback over lunch, as some stand while others sit at the versatile 900 mm high surface. In the afternoon maybe it’s the turn of the company’s management group to take over at the table for the remainder of the working day. The design of the legs, with the rounded upper part that morphs into a square shape lower down, is an elegant ergonomic detail that ensures no one need bang their knees when they sit down or are moving around the table. The table exhibits the distinctive character of wood and has been developed for a modern, activity-based office environment – hence the name Woodwork.
