From the partnership between Fantoni and Metrica comes a new, innovative, contemporary and flexible design.
Created for the contract market, the Woods collection offers excellent comfort and all the aesthetic quality of home-oriented products.
Wood, the ultimate natural material, bursts into the Fantoni office world.
Woods is a complete series of tables, created following reflection on new ways of working and on how the workplace is changing. It offers a range of modules, from the “focus” station to a shared one, and from meeting areas to collaboration spaces.
Woods includes fixed office desks and height-adjustable workstations, as well as large executive and meeting tables.
A collection that can switch from clerical to executive simply by changing the combination of tops and legs, with an interplay that maintains consistency of design and allows for numerous different layouts.
The key feature of this innovative design is the use of solid beech or oak wood. This material gives a sense of naturalness and visual comfort that is the perfect complement to the comfort offered by the performance of the table, which can be used in both a standing and a sitting position.
The sloped design of the leg gives the table a simple yet sophisticated look, comprising two telescopic cylindrical elements, one of which is in wood. Inside it is an electronic mechanism that effortlessly adjusts the height of the table top.
