NIVOO is a sustainable desk for creative minds between 3 and 99 years old. With 3 heights NIVOO crosses generations and grows with its user. It is made of ash wood and coloured MDF panels. It is assembled completely metal-free and stiffened with cords and wooden screws. All parts of the plug-in system of the legs serve different functions: dowels turn into suspensions for schoolbags, holes become fixation joints for shelves, foot hammocks or the canopy. The desk can be even transformed into a children’s theatre; NIVOO shows that smart design together with sustainability in production can be the change.

Bio
Born in Western Austria Christian Kroepfl currently practices as an Architect and Designer in Vienna and Hohenems, where he develops and designs high-quality furniture.

"Modern design, in particular combinations of steel and solid wood, resolves into timeless and aesthetic furniture that beautifies our everyday life. It’s all about the clarity of design and the deliberate restraint to the essential which averts superficial attention: modest, sophisticated and sometimes calm in nature, great design does not tolerate hierarchies or compromise in the interaction of form and function."
