Kanso is a Japanese word meaning "simplicity and absence of excess elements." This word defines the spirit of minimalism and simplicity in which this space divider (which is also a magnetic board) has been designed.

Its structure with hubless wheels and brakes is made of vitrified stainless steel with a delicate micro-textured finish or painted in RAL colors on request.

The hollowed-out structural base and hubless wheels give it a visual lightness while maintaining structural robustness and a design that blends in with any space.

The product is assembled and packaged by a special center for the disabled and employs people at risk of labor exclusion.

This product fits both interior designers and architects or anyone who is looking for a board that integrates into their space for meetings or creative sessions.

It gives the possibility to create spaces very quickly with an elegant element.

A new concept in the division of spaces in modern offices or coworking environments allows the space to be shaped and organized in a flexible way, following the demand for "Smart Office" solutions, thanks to its lightness, robust structure, easy mobility, and modularity.

As an innovative element, unlike other room dividers or magnetic boards, its metallic base structure allows the use of any panel of almost any size and material: wood, textile or acoustic panel, hexagonal polycarbonate, technical panels, and glass.

It is so versatile that panels can be installed vertically, horizontally, or even in irregular shapes.

kanso combines multiple possible materials such as the recycled HDPE panels of post-consumer caps, the transparencies of hexagonal panels, the magnetic slate of vitrified steel, and upholstered acoustic panels.

It makes it easy to compose and convert spaces into dynamic spaces and comfortable environments for teams.
