Project developed for the company Caimi, in partnership with the University Poli.Design of the Politecnico di Milano
The Canguro (kangaroo, in Italian) was developed as a proposal for the company Caimi, specialised in furniture and objects with acoustic technology. Based on the brand's brief — to create a piece of personal furniture adapted to the home working environment — the project also aimed to address a daily question: how to store in a simple and accessible way the items we carry when leaving and returning home.
The result is an acoustic wall panel with cut and mimetic pockets, which reveal themselves when storing everyday objects. The retractable table allows for functional and organised use of the workspace, maintaining visual lightness. Both the pockets and the internal compartments are lined with acoustic fabrics, within the palette offered by the Caimi catalogue. Discreet and versatile, the Canguro takes shape and presence as it interacts with the user's routine.
