Curt Sofa system
The flexible modular sofa
Secretary desks, writing desks and tables that live on the wall and only take up room when you need them: what used to be a bulky status symbol is, at Fläpps, a piece of furniture two centimetres deep – modern secretary furniture, fully functional when open, a flat wall element when closed. From the wall secretary desk with storage to the pure wall desk to the folding wall table for kitchen and everyday life. Three characters, one principle: there when needed, gone when not. Rethought in the Fläpps wall system.
Few pieces of furniture have had such a career: the secretary desk was a writing lectern, a keeper of secrets and a piece of stately furniture, then it almost disappeared – too heavy, too dark, too much. But its principle was always right: work surface and storage in one, foldable, closeable along with the day. That is exactly the principle Fläpps translates into today: a modern secretary desk doesn't have to weigh a ton of oak – one clever flap on the wall is enough. The heritage stays, the ballast goes.
The direct descendants of the classic: wall secretary desks combine a writing surface and storage behind a flap – workspace open, workspace closed. The top model wears its title in its name: the Staatssekretär-in (a play on the German for "State Secretary"), a promotion for any wall.
For anyone who only needs the work surface, without the cabinet function: wall desks are the pared-down version – fold the desk down, work, fold it up at the end of the day. With storage, shelf and compact variants for any wall and niche. How this becomes a complete home office on the wall is shown in our overview.
And when the point isn't to work but to eat, make things or set something down: wall tables bring the folding principle into the kitchen and everyday life – from a breakfast table for two to a temporary workbench.
The honest decision aid: the secretary desk is for anyone who also wants to stow away (and hide) something at their workspace – work plus character. The wall desk is the pure work surface for laptop people with little stuff. The table, finally, belongs to everyone who wants to eat at it rather than work. The same promise three times over – there when needed, gone when not – in three characters. Undecided? Welcome to AMBIVALENZ, that's rather the whole idea here. Above every one of these workspaces, a fold-down wall shelf fits nicely.
A secretary desk is a compact piece of furniture with a foldable work surface and storage. You use it as a small writing or storage spot that can be closed.
A modern secretary desk is slim, foldable and does without a bulky body. At Fläpps it sits on the wall and frees up the floor.
Yes. Behind the flap you'll find compartments for documents and small items – the secretary desk combines work surface and storage.
Very much so. As a space-saving piece of furniture it replaces a whole desk and, folded up, almost disappears entirely.
In white and black, some with a motif. That way the secretary desk fits discreetly into the room.
The wall-mounted models are screwed on. The included instructions double as a drilling template for the top row of the mounting rail – which makes assembly easy. All you need is a load-bearing wall.
