Light Light Desk

The LIGHT LIGHT DESK is a product design conceived by Japanese and Swiss designers who visited their respective countries and engaged with local companies and manufacturers over the course of two Japan-Switzerland Design Workshops. The workshop in Switzerland was held at WOGG, a major systematized furniture manufacturer, and the workshop in Japan was held at Ishinomaki Laboratory, a group dedicated to the recovery of the Ishinomaki area following the Great East Japan Earthquake. The aim of the exercise was to mesh the cultures and values of both countries during said workshops. Torafu proposed the Light Light Desk, consisting of a light aluminium frame with a built-in LED light that makes use of WOGG's energizable sandwich panels. The result is a desk that is both lightweight and collapsible, and can easily be transported like a folding chair.
