Modular Table proposal // 2019
Port Elizabeth, South Africa
Client: Port Elizabeth Community
Designer: Emily Reem
Workstations and tables were critical to design in order to get the most out of the makerspace. With such limited interior space, the design is strategically crafted to not only exhaust the most of an entire pallet, but to also stay within the constraints of where our locally sourced materials are found.
