It's the last newsletter of the year - it's been a FANTASTIC year for us at Twiice, truly the best yet. There has been a lot of hard work, sweat and tears but it has proven to be worth every second.

Of course, for this we must thank you - our clients, for staying supportive and ensuring we end 2008 on such a fabulous note. I wish you all the best for the holiday season, and look forward to 2009, where refreshed we will be ready to attack the year ahead.

WorKit, the new office system by Arik Levy, is a simple, rational and flexible solution for communicative office areas. The PIN, the central connecting element of WorKit, opens up to a large number of possibilities with a small number of parts. The screens for the middle of the desk can guide communication channels and the side screens serve to partition off large areas.

The core element of WorKit is its root-shaped connecting piece that serves to attach, connect or define legs, cross-bars, tabletops and PC holders.

ArchiMeda, the new height adjustable desk by Alberto Meda, brings that healthy alternation between sitting and standing into the executive office: the height of the table top (made of oak veneer or MDF) can be adjusted electrically using the scissor lifting mechanism.

ArchiMeda is also suitable as a conference table - for meetings conducted seated as well as for discussing documents and plans while standing around them.
