Rewrite is a prototype that began as a study of the desktop and especially an atmosphere and feeling the designers believe is needed even in the middle of an ac­celerating communication and technology. It is thought of as a kind of isolating workingbubble, that can work as a satellitedesk anywhere one can feel the need of concentration and shielding – in open space offices, public spaces or at home. With its rounded shape it can be placed freely as dots in a room. A private base in the group without being a denial of it, but an addition to it causing an alter­native.

In their design of the desktop Rewrite the designers wor­ked on creating a meeting between something well known and something surprising. The table is the­refore traditional in its form and material, but when the big screen is added, both proportions and histo­rical references are brought out of balance. In the table functional elements have been integrated as a white lacquered metal box, which is attached under the table in order to hide cables and transformers. The cable exit in the tabletop is also white lacquered.

Rewrite is designed by architects Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi.
