VITRA BaObab Desk - Mod Livin'

The BaObab desk, designed by Philippe Starck for Vitra, is ideal for computer-based and paper work. Constructed as a single piece, it is designed to include storage space and accommodate cables. BaObab is a sculptural object. It’s warm colors are inviting and it’s organic form challenges the conventional world of right angles. BaObab provides a refreshing approach to office furniture. It’s curved shape, created as a single piece, shields the user and provides a pleasant feeling of security. Owing to its lack of right angles, BaObab can be positioned freely. It is ideally suited to businesses, retail outlets and home offices, as well as to established organizations who wish to create a fresh image. For this table Philippe Starck was inspired by the monkeybread tree, also known as the baobab. The baobab tree is traditionally a place for meeting and communication. The shape of BaObab is based on the seed of the baobab tree.
