the product family

The two desks named Eddie and Maria are designed to be mobile, allowing you to drift through the office space and work where you are most effective. The simple design provides easy height adjustment, a tiltable work surface and rotating mechanisms for easy storage. The smooth surface of the tabletop is perfect for both writing and mouse movement. The products can be used individually or combined.

The Space Enabler product family also includes the “soft shelter”; a configurable solution that can be moved around, shaped and re-shaped, facilitating various degrees of privacy and comfort (see product here).

Both desks come in five different colours. Three additional wood veneer choices are possible for the larger Eddie table. See the different options in Haworth’s catalogue here.

The desks are made from 100% recyclable materials.
