The ICON work wall, 1999, is comprised of series of laser-cut, brake-formed, powder-coated sheet metal boxes. It was designed by Ali Tayar as a flexible office system for the first dot-com wave and was featured in the "Workspheres" exhibition at MoMA in 2001. As we learned from Dung Ngo's accompanying text at R and Company's exhibition, the desk surfaces act as outriggers to stabilize the walls, which is a clear nod to George Nelson's Comprehensive Storage Systems for Herman Miller.
