The future office: Makkink & Bey

According to Jurgen Bey (1965): ‘Looking at the world from another angle – from behind – offers enormous beauty…’ His designs derive from a defiance of logic. Through observation and contemplation he finds the inspiration to sketch an alternative view of the world. Studio Makkink & Bey undertook a study into mobility and work for Prooff, manufacturers of furniture for the ‘progressive office’.
