Developed in collaboration with HAY, Stefan Diez’s New Order is a modular shelving and table system designed to fit the ever-changing boundaries of contemporary workspace and living environments. The simple open-grid construction serves as a flexible and functional framework, enabling the user to create customised open or closed storage solutions with optional drawers, doors and panels.
New Order’s multifunctional tables are suitable as dining tables or meeting tables, used alone in a private setting or integrated with the shelving system and other space management components to make personalised workspace solutions. Diverse colour and material options extend the design possibilities, offering a versatile and aesthetic system.
