About The HQ Miis Isugu Jira Hawlo Badan
HQ waa miis isugu jira hawlo badan oo loogu talagalay guryaha yaryar. HQ waxay u adeegtaa sida miis cunto iyo sidoo kale miis xafiis oo la wadaago, isagoo leh gidaar kala qaybin ah oo laga saari karo. Gidaarku wuxuu leeyahay dhalo rinji canaandi ah (magnetic), taasoo suurtagelinaysa in qoraallo lagu dhejiyo dusheeda. Miiska waxaa laga sameeyay Ecoboard, oo ah alaab laga soo saaray caws sarreen oo hadhay ka dib beeraha marka la goosto. Loxdaha waxaa lagu goynayaa mishiin CNC ah, waxaana lagu xidhaa habka isku-dhejin ee "tongue and groove", taasoo ka dhigaysa in aan loo baahnayn qodobbo (screws). Meel kaydin ah ayaa qabanaysa qalabka xafiiska ee yaryar, halka jeex-jeexyo gaar ah ay hagaajinayaan xarigyada korontada si ay u ahaadaan hab nadiif ah. Miiska wuxuu ku iman doonaa qaab isku duuban (flat pack) si loo gaadhsiiyo.

- Production Technology
- We are using ecofriendly MDF alternative Ecoboard, also known as Wheatboard, the next generation of MDF fiber board. It is completely environmentally friendly. Ecoboard is made of 100% high-quality natural wheat straw, not wood. It is comprised of agricultural fibers that are left-over after harvests, by-product that is usually disposed of. The assembly is tung and groove (interlocking) method to allow for easy home assembly. CNC cutting is used for the grooves/design pattern. This product does not use any screws and the paint on the screen/panel is magnetic and ecofriendly so that you can put your notes up etc. We particularly liked the idea of old school carpentry ( similar to dove tail detailing) and the practicality of the multifunctional features that it has. There are storage space within the table which allows for office stationaries such as pens, pencil, paper clips, and the cords for the computers and phones are neatly tucked away within the cut out hole.
- Design Challenge
- The hardest is actually spraying the magnetic paint in an ombre look.
- Research
- In a world where home sizes were already dwindling and our ideas of working and living have been constantly redefined, the boundaries between work and life were drastically altered by the pandemic. Work/Life has a whole new meaning. Stuck at home, so many unknowns, living/working all in the same space. If ever there was a time for good fun design, it’s now. We decided to design a multifunctional table for smaller homes so that their space is not cluttered and wanted to give the feel of a well made product, ecofriendly, affordable and yet design focused. We used very simple design elements with easy installation assembly and at a price that is affordable.
- Inspiration
- During this pandemic, we realized that most people are frustrated with living and working from home and most of the time they complained about having their partners/spouse being always around them even during working hours. We thought what best idea to make a product that is truly multifunctional and yet give them some privacy during working hours - hence the emergence of the HQ. We wanted a desk that ticks all the boxes in terms of a work office set up but also great for evenings for dining.
- Project Duration
- The project started in September 2020 in Toronto.
- Operation Flow
- The HQ accommodates multi workers with a removal separator, it has grooves to fit supplies, a storage system, space for all those pesky cords and it’s coated in a space-age magnetic paint so notes never blow away. Then when work is done (hooray), the HQ sits 6 people, maybe 8 depending on your distancing strategy. Compact enough for condos, easy to assemble, and affordable for all. Great colors, awesome features, and an understanding of the modern world, where work and life are beautifully blurred as one.
