ANY for Flötotto is a flexible workspace with a robust whiteboard surface. Whether in a study room, hallway, or outdoors – ANY adapts perfectly to any learning environment.
Its defining design feature is a pair of round, soft-plastic handles. They protect the board’s edges, make it easier to carry, and prevent slipping on smooth surfaces. They also allow the board to be intuitively hooked onto rails or towers while keeping pens and tools from falling off. Various colors enable quick identification and help to organize group work.
The ANY Tree creates an ergonomic workspace with different heights for team collaboration — whether sitting, on the floor, on a chair, or standing.Two hooks in the sides keep the boards always within easy reach.
The wall rail made of extruded aluminum brings working, presenting, and storing together in one place. It is precisely shaped so that every board locks securely and intuitively into place, creating a stable horizontal workspace. A recess on the top allows the board to rest against the wall at a comfortable angle for presentation The Recess also hold tablets, books, and pens. With the integrated hooks, the boards are always neatly stored and within reach.
The ANY Caddy blends in as if it had always been there. It holds up to 20 boards and with two handle heights, it can be easily moved by people of all ages. You could almost say the ANY Caddy is a mobile classroom—compressed into just a quarter of a square meter. Different hooks for tables and the moving board rail complement ANY.
Making of ANY:
With ANY, our goal was to create a better product in every respect. Every chosen material, every shape, and every function contributes to making ANY a highly innovative product.
For each member of the Any Family, we have selected the best and most sustainable materials. The Board is made of sturdy birch plywood with a high-quality whiteboard laminate. The plastic handles are attached without glue and can be removed at the end of the product's life cycle. The wall rail is made of recycled post-consumer aluminum, and the end caps and rubber lip are removable. The Tree is made of sturdy plywood and the Caddy is made entirely of powder-coated steel.
