About Cooffice Office Funiture Multifunctioneel Werkstation

Cooffice is een multifunctioneel werkstation ontworpen voor gedeelde kantoorruimtes. Het semi-afgesloten bureau maakt gebruik van beweegbare panelen die elke gebruiker een eigen, private ruimte geven. De panelen kunnen worden neergelaten wanneer collega's willen overleggen of samenwerken. Het werkblad is in hoogte verstelbaar, van 30 tot 48 inch, zodat het bureau geschikt is voor verschillende taken en houdingen. De gebruikte materialen zijn akoestisch PET, rubberhout, staal en kunststof. Cooffice heeft als doel het kantoorwerk geconcentreerder te maken, terwijl de communicatie tussen collega's eenvoudig en flexibel blijft.

Unique Properties: This is a project about the future of office communication and collaboration. When people come back to the office again in large numbers after a pandemic, they will be more eager for an optimized office working mode, and a more healthy, efficient, private, and safe working environment. Co-Office System is an integrated workstation that makes employees' work more immersive and efficient. It also enables privacy and communication between colleagues more flexible.

Design Challenge: In this design, the most difficult point is that the production cost of this product may be relatively high. When considering the future market launch, it is necessary to consider the cooperation with high-performance computer manufacturers and cloud information service providers. In this way, a complete business ecosystem can be built to help transform the company and help employees become more productive.
Research: The background to the study is based on the post-COVID-19 era when people desire a more flexible office environment. Before the epidemic, people worked in their cubicles, but cluttered desktops and rigid work patterns often left them Mired in inefficiency. The studio of the future is expected to be intelligent, flexible, and secure, while also giving individual employees a space of independent work privacy. 55% of US workers say collaborating with others is harder when working from home. In the old office model, offices were always divided into functional blocks. How can we help them make the office module more dynamic so that employees feel productive? When the company sets up the office layout in the early stage, it needs to spend a lot of energy on the infrastructure construction, the construction of all kinds of infrastructure, and the company's network platform. Both time and money are significant costs. What can we do to help the company cut costs? I conducted some user surveys to find out their demands for the current working environment and their working status, and to get an in-depth understanding of their different needs at work.
Inspiration: The semi enclosed desk design allows employees to have better privacy when working in the office. You don't have to worry about being disturbed in your work. A more immersive work environment improves employee productivity. Adjustable workstations increase the flexibility of work. Moreover, flexible adjustment can make communication and cooperation between employees easier.
Project Duration: designed from 2020/9 to 2020/12 at artcenter college of design
Operation Flow: This is a design based on optimizing the future office system. The future of the office will be more collaborative and flexible. So we aim to help companies and employees create more productive work environments based on their experience. In the future, people can use mobile APP to book their office location according to whom they need to cooperate with within a day, to cooperate and communicate more flexibly. And the desk is designed in different states of use, to ensure that employees have different needs for their work. For example, when employees want to communicate with colleagues around them, they can put down their shields and communicate together. When they need their own workspace, they can make the baffle their private office space.
