A portable whiteboard – a new product for new habits
Offices are becoming increasingly Mobile, with the traditional office rapidly disappearing. We’re
turning down desks in favour of sofas or working at the coffee table. So why are things so static
in the conference room? The whiteboard should be where it’s always been, or should it?
Perhaps we can envisage a more flexible whiteboard that doesn’t tie us down or decide where
we’re going to hold our meetings, but is instead easy to take with us wherever we go? These
ideas formed the basis of my work with Note.
I wanted to create a whiteboard that was easy to move, thus radiating Mobileity. Yet its
functionality – the actual writing surface – cannot be compromised. In its simplicity – Note is a
great new product for those passionate about whiteboards!

A flexible screen with a unique and architectonic expression
The fundamental idea behind Zon was to design a visual filter for the contemporary, flexible
office. A calming divider between you, your meeting and the chaotic surroundings. It’s neither
a wall nor a conven- tional office screen. When being behind it you feel secluded but can still
sense and see what is going on in the surrounding landscape.
The office environments of today and the future are often designed with more open space and
fewer static elements. There is a frequent swap of functions and a demand to easily alternate
between creative group meetings and contemplating privacy. Today’s offices also more and
more reflect the informal feel of the home environment.
The Zon concept pick up on all this. The overlapping felt pads creates a grid construction and a
unique, architectural look with plenty of opportunities for change. It is easy to move, remodel,
expand or scale down according to the context. It can float free on the floor as an attractive,
organic part of the interior or it could help organizing the space by being arranged in straight
rows. It can also be suspended from the ceiling as a dividing curtain. It is a highly functional
interior unit as well as a decorative element that can be used in an almost sculptural way.
With its characteristic expression Zon is also a piece of furniture shaped to work in someone’s
domestic environment.
As you can see the options of how to use the new and flexible Zon concept are numerous.
Probably we have only imagined a small glimpse of how it can evolve, serve and take a natural
part in tomorrow’s environments.
