Ajax is an interpretation of a classic secretary. Two identically shaped plywood shells form surfaces at two different levels. The object thus offers three different spaces: a work surface, a storage space, and a shelf. The first Ajax was created in the studio. It attracted the attention of the German company ClassiCon when it won a second prize at the “Design for Europe” competition in Kortrijk (B) in 1999. The furniture collection produced and sold it for seven years. In 2001 the Ajax was represented in the exhibition „workspheres“ at the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA).
