The inhabited Roccolo

Project • By CSMM - architecture matters • Offices
Werk 3, CSMM
For CSMM, the “Hub & Home” model is the future of workplace design. So, they took the opportunity to make their own office into a three-dimensional calling card and set out to produce an architectural rendering of the creative process itself.

Product • By Maarten Olden • USIT
USIT
Finally a chair safe to climb! USIT is an innovative piece of furniture that is both a chair and a stepladder. Designed by Maarten OldenUSIT originated in the desire to create a stepladder that fits into a contemporary interior.

The two-step version of USIT can be used as a seat, the three-step version as a high stool. Two versions of the USIT in three colour combinations will be presented.
