Magic Cube 240
position CLOSED
When closed, it is an extremely compact object that concentrates all its éléments in a cube of 240x240x240 cm, its minimum dimension. Its height lets integrate it in every kind of life space or historical house, etc.
position OPEN
Cubomagico240 offers a wide workspace of 7 x 8 meters (56 sqm):
– a meeting room / vidéo conférence
– two tables / desks + one support table
– a long high table
The cube comfortably reaches a capacity of 14/18 workstations, also alternating with moments of use and pleasure than can be progressively developed according to a growing configuration.
An evolving and dynamic element that changes its shape to meet the individual needs of each specific time, in a continuous metamorphosis of forms and relationships, building a landscape that opens, delimits, defines areas, modalities and working conditions according to a spontaneous, empathic and functional relationship.
positions
The sequence of the positions defines the workspace to meet the specific needs, the number of people, the kinds of relationships and meetings, the moment of the day. A chronotopic system that changes the use but also the perception of the space lived through the dynamic metamorphosis of CM240.
materials
Cubomagico240 can be personalised thanks to a choice of finishes among an infinite range of materials, including the ones presented here:
- Natural wood oak
- Metal coating
- Staygreen ecomalta© corrugated cardboard
- Felt
«Today a free and fluid space is defined as the condition not only to match the new technological society but at the same time as a potential creative condition in the search of permanent innovation.»

STAYGREEN
A new sustainable design concept was born from the meeting of creativity and modernity. Thanks to a rigorous research and the respect of nature, our design is elaborated with STRUCTURED CELLULOSE (KS56) made of mixed percentages of wood fibers, recycled paper and natural stones, whose coating is finished in SOLID GREEN, a technique patented by Staygreen that entirely meets the conformity requirements to make it an ecological product.
A vision of design inspired by the aesthetic values and the profound acknowledgement of matter which represents the production philosophy of Staygreen. Thanks to a continuous quality control, the Italian design, the respect of sustainability requirements and the attention paid to the details, Staygreen is a perfect exemple of the Made in Italy.

fellow travelers
The fellow travelers of the Cubo Magico 240 project are the firms who dialog with passion and desire with AF*Design and provide the high-quality components thanks to which we reached a top-of-the-range result and this, for any configuration chosen.
Special thanks to: Castaldi Lighting, iGuzzini, Simonswerk, Vimar e Videoworks / Samsung.
The workplace of the future will reverse the trend : the percentage of static, fixed and unchanging spaces will be reduced whereas a majority of dynamic and changing spaces will appear, so as the radicalization of an articulated and variable space leant or declined in one or more core elements, like the point of anchoring. There will be precise rules in the future and the three types of spaces – static, dynamic (friendly), creative (chronotopic) – will mingle to take a form and an identity each time depending on the person that represents them.
