The project „Work from home” reacts to the current change in the world of work and deals with the demands of the homeoffice. The result is a worktable that can be optimally adapted to any body size with simple hand movements. Adjustment for working while standing is also possible. The material Karuun is a sustainable and rapidly growing raw material. Since the rattan palm cannot grow in monocultures, its cultivation promotes afforestation and the preservation of the rainforest. This creates sustainable value chains from which both the local population and the climate benefit.
