Combined dual frame system for life-saving desks against seismic-induced collapses
Combined dual frameEarthquake-proof furnitureImpacts absorption structureLife-saving desk
Introduction
Lattice structure obtained by the combination of two joined frames, capable of counteracting the stresses generated by falling bodies from above and capable of maintaining a survival space for the individual inside.

Technical features
The impact and static loads resistant structure, made of welded steel tubulars, allows the creation of a life-saving space underneath. The structure can take different morphologies (trapezoidal and rectangular) and sizes. The structure can be aggregated with identical others to create lattice macro-systems capable of withstanding higher-intensity shocks and loads. Aggregation allows the “in-line,” “zig-zag,” and “amphitheater” layouts.
Possible Applications
- School desk;
- Teacher’s desk;
- Executive/operational desk;
- Countertops and tables in general.
Advantages
- High protection capacity;
- Manufacturable by standard industrial processes;
- Lightweight and easy to handle;
- Easy to assemble.
