- Design Challenge
- The creative challenge in designing Link was the incorporation of different functions while considering ergonomics, as well as the aesthetics and creating a modern look. The curved shell design of Link allowed for the integration of different functions, while also providing desired modern aesthetics for this working desk.
- Research
- In the design process, the needs of working from home was researched. The existing home-office furniture solutions were examined. Several common problems were identified in the current home-office conditions. The first problem was the use of incorrect lighting in video conferences and online meetings, causing shadows or glares on the face of the people. The problem was addressed by offering two adjustable desk lamps that work as studio lighting. Another problem was the cluttering on work surfaces which was caused by the increased number of professional documents and lack of storage spaces. The clutter in work surface was also viewed as one of the reasons behind the lack of motivation. In the design of Link, a curved shell form was used to offer three storage spaces beneath the work surface to offer an orderly working environment. Integrated Bluetooth speakers was incorporated to the design of Link to offer a better video conference and online meeting experience, as well as to create a fun working environment by improving the experience of watching videos and listening to music. Three power outlets were included to provide easy access to charging various electronics. Another major problem was the issue of laptop placement which affected the user experience and ergonomics while working long hours behind a desk. This issue was addressed by designing the desk surface with an adjustable angle, to allow users to position their laptops to a desired height. Considering these problems of working from home, Link is designed to create an aesthetic, ergonomic and orderly working space for people by responding to their needs when connecting to their works and to the world from the comfort of their home.
