Inspired by the famous 16th century painting by Pieter Bruegel, this piece of furniture is pretty innovative and cool actually. When assembled, it serves as a personal space to gather one’s things and thoughts. When taken apart – as with the original Tower of Babel – it collapses into a flat pack. Oh, and did we mention invisible magnetic screws are involved?
The Babylon tower desk seems to consist of random pieces of larch wood, however it is a box of powerful magnets, from Lammelo, that keeps it all together. The desk seems like a solid piece of furniture however it actually disassembles into a neat package.
This collapsible desk is constructed of lacquered larch wood with a subtle gradient of color. Designed by the Swedish duo Kristian Andreason and Kristin Leibel.
