Each Vitra Hack unit is capable of satisfying various needs: companies love Hack for its flexibility, as it can be folded up into a practical, flat ‘box’ in just a few simple steps. Individual users appreciate Hack's height-adjustable work surface, as well as its provision of a private space that can be personalised. The height adjustment feature offers standing, sitting and lounge options and thus defines distinct niches for work, meetings and relaxation.
The construction of Hack is robust and stripped down to the essentials. The solid hinges connecting the three OSB wooden panels are precisely tooled to facilitate the clever folding function of Hack and simultaneously ensure its stability.
