QWERTY

Sooner or later, we all end up by falling asleep on our computer’s keyboard.

A satisfying, tactile experience is created first as the plane of the door breaks away, folding back in segments, and then once again as the cover is gently pulled back into place. The body, constructed from white oak, sits on a lightly brushed, stainless steel base.
