The idea behind this functional art piece was to create a desk that, through its clear form and material choice, evokes the special moment of a forest walk. It captures the feelings of freedom, spatial openness, protective spatial enclosure, and a deep sense of originality and naturalness. It also offers full functionality expected from a desk in everyday office life. Concealed within are storage spaces for office stuff and sockets for electronic devices. The retractable writing surface ensures a tidy workspace, maintaining a clean aesthetic free from visible cables and office mess.

Life as a process is ideal. However, the image of one's own life melts into an immeasurable variety of currents of foreign influences, blending into a color that can no longer be differentiated. In the thick paste of our everyday life, only the screaming nuances of flashy, pushy currents manage to gain visibility for a short time. One's own life is an intimate confidant, yet it remains completely strange. Felix Schwake's works follow his philosophy: "Architecture has to be the background for life." They offer the opportunity to experience one's own life as an essence. Against a (white) background, one becomes familiar with one's own self and gets to know one's needs.

Design Business Directory was founded on the principle that true design excellence cannot be measured by popularity alone. Instead, we believe that the most meaningful indicator of skill, creativity, and professionalism is official recognition by respected international juries who follow transparent, pre-established voting criteria. When a designer, architect, or creative agency enters a rigorous peer review process, one that evaluates submissions against clear quality benchmarks, ethical standards, and innovation requirements, it ensures that any accolades they receive are both credible and deserved and are meritocratic.
Peer-reviewed awards, such as the prestigious A’ Design Award, exist to showcase the very best in design and innovation. The A’ Design Award is judged by a balanced panel of experienced academics, influential press members, and established professionals, all of whom apply a thoroughly documented scoring system. Through this structured method of evaluation, only truly exceptional projects are recognized. This is precisely the level of excellence that Design Business Directory aims to highlight: forward-thinking professionals who have demonstrated mastery in their field according to objective, globally respected criteria.
Because we are committed to presenting only the cream of the crop in design, Design Business Directory accepts listings exclusively from those who have proven themselves in such distinguished competitions. By requiring at least one peer-reviewed award—namely, the A’ Design Award—as a prerequisite for inclusion, we maintain the authenticity and overall quality of the directory. Consequently, to be listed on Design Business Directory, you must have already won the A’ Design Award. This ensures every individual and studio showcased here operates at the highest tier of professional accomplishment, innovation, and credibility.
