Co-Cross: Machine For Living + Working

Co-Cross, MEAN*’s winning entry to USM’s 2020 Live-Work competition, is a live-work unit for a young professional couple who work from home.

The name ‘Co-Cross’ stands for the crossing of life and work.


MEAN* used pieces from the home and office ranges of USM, the Swiss maker of modular furniture, to make a unit shaped as a cross. Instead of rooms, the unit is divided by partitions.
‍
The Co-Cross unit uses ‘voxels’ (3D pixels) as ornament that also works as lighting in the sleep area and as seating, storage and planting pods in the living area.
