Ola wins the Good Design Awards 2009

Ola by Martex, is a modern, prestigious and elegant desk design that furnishes the office space as the home space in a personal and original way.

In April 2009, in Prague, there was the sixth edition of International Fair PRAGOINTERIER, which was attended by the most famous Brand in the furniture design world. Here, Martex Office already received the prize New Design for Ola desk designed by Mario Mazzer. Now this home-office desk, in the ā€œfurnitureā€ section, wins also the Goods Design Awards 2009, a prestigious and international prize.

Why these prizes?
The high level of the desk is the result of the particular shape and the value of materials. The strength of the elliptical shaped basement is further complemented by the 15 mm transparent crystal glass top with a black or white serigraphy printing. Round top in mdf white lacquered and Cristalplant base.

Executive office desk, Ola round table is also used as a meeting table and, many times, is required as dining table.

Seating system with study bench Turner by Lamm

Anyone who has been a student at the university can understand how annoying can be listen to a lesson and get out continually of their seat gathering up their materials to permit to pass someone who wants to sit in the middle of row!

To solve this problem, the Indaco Department of the Milan Polytechnic in collaboration with the study center Lamm, conducted a research on the ergonomic aspects of lecture hall furnishings and was born Turner.

Turner is an innovative seat and table system that modifies the design approach to educational spaces, because it responds to functional, ergonomic and technical-performance needs, but above all to behavioral factors and grants greater freedom of movement.

Thanks to a sophisticated set of coordinated movements, using mechanisms for reclining and double rotation of the seats, it permits great flexibility of use because, to enter or leave a seat one moves along a transit space created behind the backs, without disturbing the other people, who can remain comfortably seated.
