Regarding 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.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Iron series is modular furniture that uses the attraction of magnets to realize the deformation and switching of various forms and functions.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Realization and Technology
- The wood part adopts composite solid wood material, which is solid and beautiful. The metal part adopts iron and alloy to cooperate with the magnet to realize magnetic attraction and fixation. The drawer part adopts Velcro, which can realize simple disassembly and extension.
- Operation and Interaction
- The table is fixed with a magnet and can be switched back and forth between the rest table and the office table without any tools. Chairs can be deformed with magnets, such as stools, chest, toys,and there are more unknown forms waiting for users to discover.
- Project Duration and Location
- Designed in 2021 and completed in 2022,Okinawa
- Specifications
- Table:Width 700mm x Depth 1000mm x Height 700 mm Chair:Width 450mm x Depth 450mm x Height 700 mm
