Unfold More Than a Desk
You can achieve a healthy separation between home life and remote working with Bou London’s handcrafted modern classic furniture. Bou London is the innovative furniture studio created by architect Seb Kouyoumjian, a passionate advocate for subtle and thoughtful detail in day-to-day furniture.
Pressures to work from home exacerbated the need for a healthy physical separation between work and living, which propelled Seb to solve the problem himself.
Enter Bou London’s FOLD Maxi (£4,750) and FOLD Mini (£3,850)
Seb spent four years designing the FOLD range of hideaway desks, prototyping and scrutinising each component, alongside co-directing an architectural studio.
With a FOLD desk, there is no need to sacrifice floor area for a large workspace. These beautiful pieces of contemporary furniture create a generous, calming workspace when open, offering space to hold a full-size monitor (or two) and all your work equipment. The desks then neatly fold away at the end of the day, projecting from a wall little more than a console table. All that is left is an elegant, discrete cabinet – a piece fit for an architect.
FOLD desks come in two sizes, Maxi and Mini, with an array of colour compositions. Bespoke colours and finishes are also available on enquiry.
The Slow Furniture Revolution
Bou London’s hideaway desks are made by hand in micro batches in the UK. Their master cabinetmakers work slowly, prioritising care and quality well above speed or output. This, along with their popularity, might explain the six-month waiting list. Producing in micro batches means each piece is inspected by Seb himself before it is delivered and assembled for its owner.
