4.9 Desk
by Marius Valaitis
The unusual name of the 4.9 Desk has a story to tell: it reflects the designer Marius Valaitis’ desire to play with the concept of perfection vs. flaws. For that it’s almost a five, missing just a tiny bit. This translates into the angles of the desktop, which, at its end, has a “crack”, a slit that’s not just for storage but also to bring closure to the desk’s core idea. The “imperfection” aside, all the details of this piece of furniture have been made with perfect accuracy. It not only brings convenience and efficiency to your work but adds a little bit of style to it as well. Beauty cannot be empty, that’s for sure. But functionality can be beautiful.

Marius Valaitis is a graduate of Kaunas University of Technology, faculty of Design and Technologies. Ability to create is what inspires designer the most. It is an amazing feeling to realize a sketch into a real physical object and I enjoy it every step of the way: sketching, selection of the material, production and the final presentation. Designer believes that every creation has a piece of the creator and therefore he wants to be part of the product realization process as much as possible.“In our work we hold a deep respect to the crafts, traditions, and evolution of every object. Together with this we are constantly looking for the next step in making them new, better, different, adapting it for today’s environment, technology and society.”
