 The work we do at home makes special demands on our space and furniture. Designed specifically to support the wide range of tasks that happen at home, the Enchord desk and mobile cabinet are an affordable, simple, and downright clever solution to getting the homework done, keeping the papers you're using now organized and at hand, and letting you keep your phone and a sandwich nearby while you shop online.
The Enchord Desk by Herman Miller features fixed-height aluminum legs that support a top surface and a lower surface. The legs are chalk white with 1/2" leveling glides. A chalk white laminate top surface is paired with a pesto green lower surface; white oak top surface is paired with a chalk white lower surface. Additional features include a lower surface that extends beyond upper surface. It can extend 11" or 12" on either side or it can be centered, extending 5" on both sides. Design Story
Designers Sam Hecht and Kim Colin of Industrial Facility, a London, England, design office, say they created Enchord "to be open to interpretation," to provide "discovered pleasure in flexibility. "You become more aware of what it can do as you use it," says Hecht. "We were inspired to design a table that was functional and flexible to match people's lives," says Colin, "yet be simple, understated, and elegant--not over-engineered or too dramatic--so it fits in multiple environments." Dual-level surfaces provided the solution. They automatically create different zones for different materials--for example, the computer on the upper surface and the printer on the lower. Between the levels is space for storage and wire management. All this without complicating the simple design. |
