Design Details

Unique Properties
This is a wooden neat box with an attractive appearance and practicality, and it's a space beautician. With the large capacity and multiple separate compartments, it can perfectly organize and store pens and other things, bidding farewell to the messy scenes, neat and clean. It can not only meet the decoration needs of desktops, living rooms, studios and other environments, but also can meet the demand of space optimization at the same time, bringing high efficiency for users.
Inspiration
This product adopts a compartmentalized storage design, which can be classified according to needs: mobile phone can be put in slot, stationery and other things can be orderly placed in small compartments, so that the desktop space can be easily stored without burden.
Research
Refference to Compartmentalized Storage Design
Realization and Technology
It can be flexibly combined according to users' habits, and can be integrated into one when not in use, which is more stable. The vertical storage, like a forest, can organize various things with the least space, which can save more space and better optimize the utilization so as to build a pleasing small world and improve the working atmosphere.
Operation and Interaction
Through the three-dimensional space storage, the scientific and reasonable layout of home and work environment is realized, which is more helpful to standardize personal storage habits of users.
Project Duration and Location
The project started in August 2021 in China
Specifications
Its computer heightening table has tree-shaped feet, and the height of the feet can be adjusted according to the use habits, which not only helps to correct the posture of users when using the computer, but also makes the desk tidier: the keyboard and mouse can be retracted at the bottom of the heightening table, making use of office resources more reasonably in a limited space, and bringing users a convenient use experience.
