The Muriyo Desk – Now the MYRA Desk

muiryo

Originally known as Formica, the Italian word for ant, designer Michael Kainhofer changed the name to Muiryo, a modification of the old Germanic word for ant.  Designer Michael Kainhofer has notified us that the desk is now the MYRA desk, which also means ant but in Swediesh. You can find the MYRA Desk here: http://www.design-tisch-online.com.

If you head to the Facebook page for Muiryo, you’ll see that Kainhofer is in the process of introducing a contest to rename the desk, as he is still not satisfied with the name. Regardless of the name, the Muiryo is a stylish, modern desk.

To create the desk, Kainhofer used a CNC process to use as little as material as possible.

The Muiryo Desk is made of birch plywood that is 6.5 mm thick. The legs and table tops are screwed together tightly enough to create tension that strengthens the desk overall.

The desk is then covered with synthetic leather to add texture, and color if desired. It is available in 10 different colors.
