Its rounded cloud shape and luminous yet warm association of natural oak and sky blue wool fabric also fall into the same vintage Scandinavian register. Both an occasional desk and a decorative wall-mounted element of compact dimensions (depth 14 cm), NUBO offers, when open, a functional work surface equipped with a cable slit and a retaining bar for documents.
