MAT MANUFACTURER: Bulo DESIGNER: Dirk Bikkembergs WHAT IS IT?: Responding to the question "Why not work while lying down?"
Belgian fashion designer Dirk Bikkembergs came up with a mat to be used
as an alternative desk. It can also work as a floor cover, a piece of folded
furniture, a lean-to, or simply a gym mat. RELEASE DATE: Available now SPECIFICATIONS: Made of bonded foam with a vinyl
finish and antiskid bottom, it is available in beige and dark or light blue. INSPIRATION: Created within the context of a show
entitled "New Ways of Working," it is an exploration of the collapsing
boundaries between work and leisure.
SPECIAL FEATURE: For vertical suspension, you can order a mounting set and
black elastic band that can function as a magazine or newspaper holder. WHAT WE THINK: MAT is part of Bulo's Carte Blanche series,
which gives designers free rein in creating alternative
office environments. We're curious to see what playful
extremes its users will come up with.
