"In our work for Prooff we investigate knowledge landscapes with collective indoor and outdoor spaces where work and life fold into one," state designer Jurgen Bey and architect Rianne Makkink. "Recurring themes are the library and the campus as ultimate places for obtaining and sharing knowledge. This issues subjects such as archiving, meeting, mobility, transmission and storage of knowledge."
With their SideSeat, these themes have come together in the shape of a self-contained desk, cupboard and chair, which nevertheless allows for a myriad configurations, and a flexible relationship with the surrounding working space. A compact workstation, SideSeat features a swivel chair, allowing to create privacy in public areas. The table can be used as an arm rest, a side table or a small desk. SideSeat is available in a range of pastel and earth tones, and seeks to become a "stimulus for creativity and focus for staff."
