Of course, mobility isn't everything. Looks, higher
workspace density, effective cable management,
self-locking assembly, a revolutionary
non-reflective finish and research-based
ergonomics go far beyond the square competition.

system provides for quick and easy
assembly without tools. No screws,
and no hardware.
Puzzledesk Nanus and i2
Ergonomics at work. Its
shape looks different all
right, but there are well-founded
reasons behind every curve.
In fact, worthy enough to
deserve two U.S. patents.

Portable desking. Lightweight
workspace that can travel with you,
stores flat, and assembles in minutes.
The Puzzledesk Series BX weighs
one-third less than a traditional
workstation, yet has a greater

120-degree geometry. The Puzzledesk
may be placed neatly into any corner,
angled 120-degrees up to a wall, or
grouped in trios or quads. These
configurations create higher workstation
densities and optimize precious space,
while maintaining each station’s
full functionality.

Cable management. Legs and work
surfaces incorporate a novel cable
management system so cables are hidden
out of sight, while remaining
easily accessible.
Puzzledesk Nanus and i2
Built to human scale. The design
is research-based, considering size,
reach, movements, and habits of
today’s human body.

A soft environment. No scratches
or snags here. Puzzledesk corners
are curved like humans, for
the safety of humans.

Non-reflective finish. We
identified the chemical properties
that hinder optimal vision and then
formulated a hard non-glare coating
that reduces certain bright
light reflections.

Comprehensive warranty. We think
of our warranty as a ten-year promise.
The Puzzledesk is warranted against
defects in materials and workmanship

The Story Behind Puzzle Desking
The challenge
The first challenge was to develop a vision responsive
to human needs identified through socio-cultural research.
This involved probing significant changes in people,
their work habits, and preferred business environments,
as well as considering current workplace technologies.
Thus, it provided a magnificent opportunity to reexamine
today’s work environment and critical workplace
issues, in particular how and where people prefer to
work, their likes and dislikes, and why.
The specific team members assigned to the project were
indeed qualified to undertake the challenge. The members
were armed with extensive experience in workplace environments—including
office interior architecture, ergonomics, and workspace
analysis. Carelli Design has assisted in the development
of numerous furniture projects targeting a variety of
markets. In addition, the GIAN team benefited from the
direct participation of Carelli International’s
founder and CEO, Vittorio G. Carelli, pushing the fusion
of innovation and artistic ingenuity to the limits,
into what would eventually become appropriately codenamed
“puzzle.”
The result
The Puzzledesk Series BX (models Nanus and i2). Suddenly,
nothing feels the same. The Puzzledesk’s one feature—by
far the most significant, and perhaps the most obvious—is
its footprint based on 120-degree Geometry. This groundbreaking
approach provides for greater diversity of workstation
density, and a more cost-effective use of precious real
estate. 120-degree geometry enables the Puzzledesk to
be placed effectively into corners or grouped in trios
or quads to maximize space, while yielding more usable
workspace than its counterparts. The Puzzledesk’s
human scale and ease-of-use reflects its fundamental
principle: organizational success starts with the human
being.
People’s needs are at the center of the Carelli
Design creative process from the very start. Products
and services are imagined as a total user experience,
taking into account interaction and the context of use,
rather than functions alone. As a result, new solutions
are not only possible, but moreover are relevant for
people.
We often receive inquiries from the public requesting information about specific projects. For this reason, we provide a small assortment of past and present products online for public view. Unfortunately, the majority and perhaps most significant examples of our accomplishments may not be publicly disclosed by us at the request of our clients. We are always honored by the public’s curiosity in our work and welcome those interested to take a browse around in order to learn more about our creative process.
