A true unicum, handmade of solid walnut and birch wood. The secretary desk of our colleague Marian Hönsch, Product Marketing at EnOcean, is a minor masterpiece. Not only is it a decoration for each living room. It also integrates EnOcean technology. It is controlled from a cube.
The combination of dark and light wood gives the secretary desk a specific look, accents drawers and doors, while the light working surface invites to office activities. Together with the cabinet element, it fits perfectly with the modern living environment. The desk’s outstanding feature is its indirect lighting, controlled by EnOcean wireless technology, which gives it an especially attractive appearance.
Door open – light on
Due to electromechanical door contacts from Eltako, the desk’s light is automatically switched on when the doors or the drawers are opened. This motion alone is enough to generate a wireless signal, sent to a Bilton controller that activates the luminaires at the corresponding position. They are switched off the same way as soon as the doors are closed again.
Dice the light
The control cube, also made of wood, is the special feature. It is powered by two solar cells. Little symbols at the surface show where to find which functionality. Users can dim the light and switch it on an off just by turning and tapping the cube. That’s rather magical.
