The solid wooden form of the base, which looks very light, adds a unique character to a space and makes the surroundings more attractive to employees. The oak legs, which taper towards the floor, make every office stand out by introducing exceptional design into the interior. The Levitate system also provides the user with different smart storage elements.
The wide range of finishes perfectly matches the new, appealing to nature and the home-like atmosphere trends. Delicate, subdued, pastel colours and high quality materials add the feeling of warmth and elegance to every space. Besides the carefully selected fabrics, the range of finishes also includes melamines, linoleum, veneer and wood.
The nature was the main inspiration behind the project, which is reflected in the use of wood and the warm and home-like atmopshere. The popular home office design trend is visible not only in delicate, rounded edges of desks and panels, but also in the finishes whose colours and structures remind the materials that can be found in private houses.
Wooden legs of Levitate desks, tables and benches are the most characteristic feature of the system. The A-shape legs are slightly rounded at one side and become thinner towards the floor, which gives the system a solid, yet light look due to the eye-catching oak finishes.
