Second attempt / dining desk


The dining desk is also a critic about the office eating bad habits. The desk is the usual place of eating in the office.
75% of office workers eat lunch at their desk 2 or 3 times a week
The keyboard has been proof to keep 150 times more bacteria that the toilet seat
This unhygienic and unhealthy habit, a part of the multitasking office workers everydayness, is here collide against a gourmet meal and a high profile restaurant's table.
The dining desk is build in term of a gourmet meal.
The plate contains the meal, a controlled and elaborated structure made of 4 vending springs fill of office components in a colour and form spatial composition.
This 4 springs are connected to the 4 holes of the desk. This number is related to the average of times workers use everyday the vending machines, as well as the number of courses of a traditional gourmet meal: aperitif, first course, main course and dessert.
The fork and the spoon are connected to the plate by USB, while the keyboard is integrated.
The food is supplied by the carpet. The carpet works here as a fine linen table cloth. It contains the spots of all the objects that have been on it.
The food is delivered through the four desk holes that instead of allowing wires to pass, allow the carpet to connect with the vending corridor.
