EXT is a resealable desk-console project designed for the Italian brand Alias in collaboration with Istituto Marangoni Milano Design.

The project focuses on the tardigrade, an extremophile organism that is capable of adapting to any biological condition, from the vacuum of space to subglacial environments.

Similarly, EXT aims to create a space that allows users to delve deeper without getting bogged down, assisting them in the challenging task of managing their time between home and the office. It achieves this through a fluid, transverse movement and manual sliding, which disrupts the continuity between different parts of the object.

“The tardigrade is distinguished by a precise survival technique: in the absence of water it is able to suspend its vital functions and then come back to life, without any consequence, upon the return of itself.”
