Giraffe, a portable spatial divider

Kawamura-Ganjavian presents 'Giraffe' a portable spatial divider. Contemporary office spaces are based on the flexible open plan principle. However, this lay out jeopardizes individual space and dilutes group dynamics. It creates a visual enclosure for those who are sitting behind it but does not interfere in the general openness of a room.

It is also a pin board and a hub for wired connections.
