Arrecife is a modular divider screen ideal for use in collaborative work spaces, either for individual work or team work. Its main objective is to take a small part of the workspace and separate it by an acoustic and visual isolation.

There are two types of boards: One with electric inputs to connect digital devices and lighting, and another with space to place things such as books and backpacks.

As modular work dividers they take better advantage of space, which makes it possible to place more people in small places while improving comfort and productivity. It also can be configured and re-configured in multiple ways, as well as reduce the number of screens according to the user's need.

ARRECIFE the collaborative work spaces screen is build using Footwear Fiber "Fluff", Laminated PU Foam/Mixed Apparel Textil and Rubber Granulate.

The biggest advantage of this product is that it is made of recycled materials, so showing this advantage to large companies and educational institutions that have environmental certifications or that worry about having sustainable work policies is a good entry to the market. Sales would be made through the Internet on a web page, there would be no physical store and manufacturing would be by order. "Personalization" is another way to gain customers, by allowing the customer to configure their product and select the color combination, this makes it more attractive. We could associate with a coworking company that has many locations and make a special product for them that provides unique characteristics and that is linked to its brand image.  We could also have a collection model that allows the panels to be returned in poor condition and repaired or reused some of their parts for new productions.

The product is innovative for the design itself, for the way it reuses the materials and for the multiple functionalities it provides that allow for a much more enriching experience. Being a modular product and being made with pre-existing recycled materials allows a better planning in the productive process what results in an easy assembly and an optimal stacking reducing transport costs and shipping.
