my hive workstation partition
Design Poul Christiansen,
2016
”Flexibility” is a keyword for Poul Christiansen’s stylish and flexible concept My Hive. My Hive is available in two different models – a spacious, rectangular workstation, and a hexagon-shaped one. The hexagon is a natural form – that is present in the beehive, as well as on turtle shells – that makes it possible to compose dynamic and surface-efficient configurations. Sofas are available for both models.
What also distinguishes My Hive from other workstations is how great attention it pays to detail. Instead of using legs, Poul Christiansen has integrated the table-top into a 50 mm deep sound absorbent screen, thus freeing space. The mechanism for adjusting height is hidden behind zippers. Under the table, there is a smart case for the cables.
Born in 1947 and educated as an architect at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Poul Christiansen made his breakthrough in the late sixties when he began working on his iconic lamp series for Le Klint.
Since 1987, he has co-directed Komplot Design in Copenhagen with Boris Berlin. The multi-disciplinary design studio regards design as a link that emerges from the tension between opposites, such as reason and feeling, tradition and innovation. Accordingly, the purpose of design is significantly greater than simply solving discrete functional problems: “It’s about creating subtexts that fill concepts and objects with cultural, philosophical and poetic content.”
As one of the pioneers in this field, Abstracta has created more and more effective working environments to absorb sound. Abstracta is a Swedish company that has been active since 1972.
