| Contrary to my love of organisation tools/systems I am a very //unorganised// person but the idea of a thing having it's designated place in a system feels very pleasing, like watching an oddly satisfying video of things matching perfectly. The ideal victim for any reorganisation could be the studio space of each degree at HfG. Especially the Eiermann desks, the design is so simple but there is no possibility to store something on or unter it. | Contrary to my love of organisation tools/systems I am a very //unorganised// person but the idea of a thing having it's designated place in a system feels very pleasing, like watching an oddly satisfying video of things matching perfectly. The ideal victim for any reorganisation could be the studio space of each degree at HfG. Especially the Eiermann desks, the design is so minimalistic that there is no place to store your things. The construction of the tables is so simple that there is so much you can do with them. You can add cup holders, hooks, fabric sides, CPU holders, trash cans, metal grates or fabric storage. Whatever you can think of, you can add it to the frame. |

| //In 1953, Egon Eiermann designed a metal table for work in drawing rooms and architectural offices, which was manufactured by the Max Meier company and in the metal workshop of the TH Karlsruhe. It consisted of two side sections that were welded together by a spatially tilted cross to form a rigid table frame. A simple wooden board was placed on the frame and served as a drawing surface. In 1965, Klaus Brunner, one of Egon Eiermann's assistants, suggested a transportable version of the table frame when he moved to Freiburg. Adam Wieland, head of the metal workshop at the Technical University of Karlsruhe since 1963, further developed Egon Eiermann's table frame by tilting the diagonally arranged cross struts vertically and connecting them to the side sections in a detachable manner. Production of the table frame began in the same year.// | {{ :eiermann_tisch_v2.jpg |}} |

| Since the construction of the tables is so minimalistic there is so much you can do with it. Add cupholders, hooks, fabric sides, cpu holders, trashcans, metal grates or fabric storage. Whatever you can think of you can add it to the frame. | |

| I'd really like to add some modular storage to the sides of the frame maybe using snaps, eyelets or hook-and-loop. Something easy so others are able to replicate it if they want. Maybe printing a pattern/plan for the build would be a nice add-on. | |
