Space Inside Space
The project was created as cooperation with the Estonian upholstery company Borg. Borg started furniture production in year 2004. Their mission is to offer high-quality and competitively priced special furniture and their own production to companies and private people. The aim of the project was to propose an innovative idea that would compliment the company’s product portfolio, to define a new direction for the company and the reasoning behind that.
Design - Salome Todria, Pavel Sidorenko, Tea Tuur
“Mine metsa” (‘Go to the forest’) proposed new design platform for Borg. The concept encompasses various acoustic office accessories, so called parasite products that can be easily installed into any home or corporate office, university or other place where efficient work style is needed.
METS
METS (“forest”) is a mountable acoustic ceiling panel system. The panels have 13 soft hanging strands which are fixed to the panel with velcro. That makes the strands easily re-movable and washable. The panels are made of sound-absorbing materials, which help to reduce the echo in large office buildings. The panels can be arranged in various patterns, which will give customers the opportunity to create their own dividers or spaces inside bigger spaces. METS will be available in various lengths, suitable for any room height. The panels are standard dropped ceiling panel size (60x60 cm).The functions include echo reduction, a quiet space to make phone calls and acoustic and visual room dividing.

PUU (‘tree’) is an acoustic space divider. It consist of three parts which can be layed on top of each other, creating a spruce-tree-like artefact. It’s made of thick felt which is reinforced with sound-absorbing materials. The triangular parts can be layed on top of each other vertically or manipulated to create windblown playful shapes. The triangles come with a wooden construction which helps the tree to stand tall and sturdy. The ready-made height of the tree is 150 cm. The parts are designed in a way so that the shipping is economical and safe, as the parts can be pocketed inside each other.
PUU is a great way to separate working stations, it’s easy to move and will quickly create new spaces inside bigger spaces where employees can focus on their working process.
