Selective Insulation

Unfortunately, not all good ideas, and innovative thinking make for great design.

for example - this workspace insulation, by German architect Davidson Rafailidis, which is very interesting to look at and the concept and thought behind it are good doesn’t quite work for me and for many others I am sure.

The slant from the wall would make me feel as if someone was kicking my feet back all the time, and he smallness and strangeness of the shape would make me completely claustrophobic.

From this angle it seems as if the desk is trying to push itself out as well.

The as I said before, the thought here is good green and energy saving, but the actual comfort, physical and mental is also very important in a work space and here I see niether.

I first found this in Atelier A+D and continued reading about it in Dezeen
