10.02.12 Durable products premiered at Frankfurt Paper World
At the Paperworld Fair in Frankfurt, the new trolley and Varicolor of Durable were introduced. Both products were designed and engineered by GBO DESIGN.
The trolley has a contemporary design and is constructed of a limited number of modular components. By clever use of the ‘building blocks’, the complete range of Durable trolleys was replaced.
The Varicolor, a drawer box, is available with optionally five or ten drawers that are executed in five vivid colors. These colors are only visible when the drawers are open - with the box closed, the drawers fit perfectly in a quiet office environment, while subtly colored lines help you to organize.
