The Helit Foster desk pad or writing mat is made of high quality, silky black matte textured plastic with contrasting aluminum rail. The underside is a soft material to protect the desk top. The high quality materials are sensuous and luxurious to touch while visibly evoking executive status. A set can be individually arranged and placed freely on the desk or fitted into the aluminum rail of the elegant Helit Foster writing mat. The functionality of the Helit products allows you to work simply yet pleasurably. Each piece can be closed with a discrete smooth surface cover. The cover can be slotted underneath, allowing access to the contents and hence the practical use of the products. What was previously simply a cube is now transformed into a clock, pens are to hand, and like magic, notepaper raises ready for use out of its box. Designed by Norman Foster, whose work ranges in scale from Hong Kongs airport, the largest construction project in the world- to the design of a door handle. The values behind every project are identical regardless of scale. The Helit Foster series continues this philosophy, bringing ergonomic, aesthetic, and tactile qualities to the elements of the workplace environment.
