WINNER – THE HONOURABLE PRIZE

Solid and thin, bar and block, black and white, push and pull. The Smart desk is all about contrast. The intriguing design cleverly integrates wireless charger and USB ports with a concealed Hafele drawer. Designer Kim Thoa found the combination of the compressive strength of American red oak and ease with which it can be steam bent, a huge advantage in the manufacturing process.
