OFFICE

CONCEPT

What does the perfect office setting look like?

Having worked in all manner of office settings, I have come to believe that what people value most are storage, space and privacy (when they feel like it).  Other times, people want and need a collaborative space that is open and barrier-free. I challenged myself to consider a product or experience that solves each of these needs in an office environment.

Elevated storage is an inventive solution to the modern office problem.  With integrated lighting, secure storage units could double as chandeliers, freeing up precious desk space (perfect for the cost-conscious employer looking to maximize occupancy).  Moveable side partitions might travel vertically to provide privacy whenever desired. As employees moves these elements move up and down, they offer a silent cue to everyone in the office that they are away, hard at work, or packing up for the day.

Elevated storage does require ample ceiling height, but in the right environment, it is a very creative use of space and a wonderful way to address many of the challenges faced by the modern office.
