This desk system was developed for children who live and learn in small living spaces.
‍
It consists of a height-adjustable folding table and a panel with an integrated wireless and rechargeable lighting system. If two children are sitting opposite each other, it also serves as a partition. The tilt board on the tabletop can be adjusted at different angles. When folded, it can be stored together with the learning materials in the provided storage system. All components are easy to adjust and maintain.
‍
The project has been funded to produce 2,000 sets and give out for those families who live in sub-divided flats in Hong Kong.
