BECKMANS | PRODUCT DESIGN
How can an object; a furniture, in itself perform an act of resistance; an articulation of norm criticality? What responsibility does a designer have when creating objects that are inevitably placed within power structures such as race, gender and class?
Spaces and objects carry history – descended directions that generate patterns, layers of inclusions and exclusions. Bodies in and around those ‘trail behind’, perform alike, excecute habitual acts.
The desk carries out an action of resistance to these habituations; against the direction of which bodies have trailed behind. In opposition to the desk as a place for ‘the thinking white man’.
“Minna Magnusson thinks of the desk and revolutionizes the way you sit with a project for the generation 2.0”

“A new way of thinking about working. The Desk offers a new perspective and the opportunity to live out our work in a relaxed and informal way while comfortably lying on our desk.
It breaks the gap and physical filter that normally occurs between the person behind the desk and those who interact and perhaps suffers in front of it.”
