Van Embricqs was inspired by recent global events, and the longer-term trends that precede them, to devise a statement piece that lends dignity to the digital workspace through craft, warm textures, and durably engineered fastenings.

The Flow Wall Desk is adaptable to any wall and can be used throughout homes, libraries, hotels, and many other inside locations.

It creates the opportunity for a temporary work surface in a sunny corner and becomes an ergonomically adjustable desk in a compact city interior which invites the user to fold that desk away when work is over.  

Usability demands that an everyday object such as this should be created with a generalized user’s psychology in mind.

Vertical element emerges from the wall like a caterpillar with the help of specifically placed hinges.

These exposed brass hinges establish a visual rhythm and ensure that the form can follow its function.

This led to the notion of a transformation in form and purpose achieved through a single, simple gesture that everyone can familiarize themselves with.

With a single turn by hand around its axis, a tabletop is created and once in its horizontal position, the tabletop is supported by wooden slats, creating a more natural look and organic effect that also serves as a screen for more privacy.

The horizontal work surface is comfortable yet functional due to its depth and width for the seated user and making it perfect for typing and handwriting.

Finally, a unique opportunity is created for a temporary work surface and ergonomically adjustable desk in a sunny corner which invites the user to fold that desk away when work is over.

With the finished design appearance, more sustainable material developments are being examined and analyzed for production.

And when it comes to functionality, each part of the Flow Wall desk has been specifically engineered without losing the appeal to attract, just like a folding magic trick with a well-kept secret.
