About Iron Modular Office Furniture
Iron is a series of modular office furniture created for small work spaces. The table and the chair are joined by magnets, so the parts can be separated and rearranged without tools. The table can be switched between a work table and a rest table. The chair can be changed into several forms to suit different sitting positions. The wood parts are made of composite solid wood, and the metal parts are made of iron and alloy. The drawer uses hook and loop fastening for simple removal. The set can be compacted to save floor space in narrow offices.

- Design Challenge
- The initial design is more concise, but lacks stability, so some structures to strengthen stability are added on the basis of the initial design to achieve the best stability.
- Research
- The purpose of designing this product is to enable small and medium-sized enterprises to save space and create a better working environment through the characteristics of modular furniture when using narrow offices.
- Inspiration
- Currently, the work space of small and medium-sized enterprises uses small offices. I think that the arrangement in the space is one factor. It is a difficult problem for SMEs because the office cannot be relocated and it is difficult to remodel. Assuming that the space does not change, it is possible to redesign the office supplies in the office and use modularized office supplies to maximize the use of the office space and make the office space as comfortable as possible.
- Project Duration
