When I am tried and down citric has always been my best friend to boost me up. Be it orange or lime citric is my cup of refreshment. Another usual affair with orange caught my attention when I cut it into a half and relished it sitting on a sofa. I was amazed by the magic that both the orange and the sofa did to me, this brought the idea of making a sofa with orange as the inspiration which would work magic on everyone and keep them refreshed.
C’Trick is the kind of sofa one whould want to have in the middle of his house or also could be imagined in a Hotel lobby. the sofa is designed in a way it could hold a family together or can be put apart for individuals who love their space. The organic structure is broken up to form separate seats for two and can be put back and held together wth just an easy mechanisim by snapping the sides of the carpels together.
One thing that I have missed every time I migrate from place to place through the years is a desk of my own that would fit any space and serving not just one but multi-functional purposes and am sure that is the case of many who move from place to place. With Space wise my quest to find the comfortable space to work with is satisfied, now I can carry the desk with me and customise it the way I want it to be by changing its function as and when I change my mind. Space wise is a simple yet revolutionary concept for a multifunctional portable desk that helps you create your kind of desk in any kind of environment fitting you desire .It could be the best solution for those who travel frequently from a place to another but would like to have their own Personal Compact desk for oneself. Different possibilities like a vanity desk a writing desk and also that of a work station can be configured.A multi-use furniture helps you to make the best use of space and that would be exactly what Space wise Offers you
A C C A NTO Accanto is nothing like the image that you get thinking of a table. It is three legged, plastic made, light table for the tiny feet and hands to lift it and create their own work space. With its cute soft pastel appearance Accanto is sure to make a lot of friends with the kindergartners. Thanks to the filleted edges, Accanto does not hurt its friends.
Accanto will build stronger children who can lift and turn the table who does not need to be repaired as adults.
