university project
mia is a project between two industrial designers from the ZHdK and two mechanical engineers from the ETH Zurich. mia is a foldable and individually adjustable desk specially designed for home office situations. The basic shape reminds of an A that is connected through a crossbar that serves as a hinge but also as a light source. The light can be easily switched on and off, as well as dimmed by a rotary switch located next to the light tube. After unfolding the table, it can be adjusted in height by pulling buttons on the bottom of the tabletop. On the inner edge of the scaffold, there is a socket for charging tools. The power for this and the light is provided by a cable attached to the left leg of the table.
