Challenge

Steelcase challenges Mormedi to design a flexible table, adapted to collaborative spaces, with a more "lifestyle" look, focused on a younger audience and priced below existing ones in its catalog.

Approach

After an exhaustive study of the competition and existing Steelcase models, we presented a series ofbest practices, technical solutions, and improvement opportunities for the new tables. After confirming thedesired style with Steelcase, we began designing these new products, emphasizing simplicity and reducing technical complexity and costs. Thus we created two families of tables withrefreshing design, good modularity, and simple manufacturing.

Result

We reduced costs and reached a younger, more flexible marketwith this Steelcase table
