Like an updated version of desks founding libraries, the Hoodie by Koskela is a desktop screening device that provides both visual and acoustic privacy. It is designed to delineate personal space within a collaborative workplace by isolating the user while still allowing optional contact with a group. There are two iterations: a desktop version which consists of a portable geometric dome top that can be placed on any work surface and the fully-realised work module (pictured above and after the jump) featuring rounded legs that support a wooden desk.
As Koskela's goal is to become a completely carbon-neutral business, the Hoodie was designed to have minimal impact on the environment being made as it is from sustainable timber and water-based glues in local factories by Australian crafts people. The winner of a 2013 IDEA Award, the Hoodie was designed to stand alone or be grouped in clusters, and features optional add-ons like internal shelves, data boxes and LED lighting. It comes in a variety of upholstery colours and finishes.
