Kelainai Double Desk

Kelainai is a double desk where two people sit facing each other. Two walnut tops meet on a narrow central spine; the spine is a lidded cable trough, and the lids close flush with the top in the same walnut grain. A soft-cornered screen upholstered in sand-coloured fabric rises from the spine and separates the two people. The tops rest on charcoal, O-shaped metal frame legs at the ends. It takes its name from Kelainai, the ancient city near Dinar in Afyonkarahisar. We make it in our factory in Istanbul. The cables of both people gather in the central trough and nothing hangs under the desk. The screen softens sound and takes the opposite monitor out of sight; the fabric cleans with a brush or a damp cloth. The walnut surface needs only daily wiping. A cable box sits under the top on one side. It suits two-person teams in an open office, a project room or a shared work area. Desks can be placed side by side to form a row. Walnut tone, screen fabric, frame colour and size are chosen at order. Size follows the project.
