...If it was used in the workshops and offices of the Nationale Automobil-Gesellschaft, NAG, who, at that time, called the Peter-Behrens-Bau home, or by the wider AEG family to whom NAG was a member, and who so defined the industrialisation of the early 20th century in Berlin, we no know... But it certainly looked very comfortable when we met up with it in the Peter-Behrens-Bau during Berlin Design Week 2024...
...In which context we'd also ask if they must be printed in plastics, would a wood based material be possible, for example the 3D printable cork based material developed by Weronika Wojnarowicz that can be viewed in context of Next: Young European Design at the Kunstgewerbemuseum Berlin?... And 3D printing that also means, and this is where it gets really interesting for us, you can establish decentralised production and supply systems: imagine, for example, if the BVG, the public transport supplier for Berlin, established a small 3D print workshop capable of producing Morari, they could then produce those units they needed, in the colours they needed, when they needed them...
...Admittedly the Dedas sofa by Budapest based designer Annabella Hevesi isn't part of Berlin Design Week 2024... But it is on show at Berlin Design Week 2024...

...Over the years of these dispatches design weeks in Berlin, in a wider sense design and designers in Berlin, have played a very important role, as can be gauged from the tag cloud in the footer: Berlin is one of our most regularly used tags, and DMY Berlin occurs more often than a great many designers, manufacturers, fairs and other festivals... A DMY Berlin that back in the day we used to essentially live in; like some awkward, artless, commensalistic symbiont we would spend days on end drifting round the event, and indeed round Berlin, feeding, hungrily, from it...
...Schulze telling, and epoch conform, refers to Modern Efficiency Desks as "sanitary" desks in contrast to the older unsanitary type...
