after analyzing the products on the market for rural schools in mexico, local design studio NOS has come to redesign the traditional school desk. aiming to create a product that would be affordable, resistant to extreme weather conditions and easy to use, the designers developed ‘clever’, a lightweight stackable desk with a seat.

the result of the project is a two-piece school desk with a rotating board that students can move depending on their needs. it is light and can be produced in many colors, allowing the schools to choose a two-color combination if needed. the seat has a conical shape so it can fit on top of other seats for storage, and also features a hook on the backrest so the users can hang their schoolbags on it. the pocket under the seat allows the students to store books and school supplies.
