TABS
Duration: 1 month
Project Type: Personal Project
Designer: Pelin Özbalcı
Tabs desk is designed to direct our attention span and easily distracted attention to the right place with technology. Tabs, which can be used with the convenience of the ordinary, blends the "tab" logic we all know with the traditional work. As we focus and work on a single subject at the same time with tabs on the same computer, Tabs gives the user flexibility in using tabs as they wish, with the double rail system on the table. Due to the nature of the work, it cannot be uniform, and the modular component based on 3 different materials in the design meets the needs of the user precisely for this reason.
While you can easily use the fabric and cork Tab with thumbtacks or safety pins, the elastics and pockets on the Felt Tab always perform both storage and display functions. At the same time, Fabric Tab can be a modular distraction preventing screen for users who only care about aesthetics as well as its working function thanks to its design and material that can be applied in different colors.
The most important function of the movement of the tabs is that the subject being studied at that moment stands out with the Tabs that are easily drawn in front of the other subject that is not studied. Thus, when the user finishes studying a subject, they can block their way and prevent their mind from going in different directions.
In contrast to the tab modules that can be moved freely on the rails, the upper surface of the table is left plain. When viewed from the front, the table looks very plain and flat. When viewed from above, there is a space for cables to pass through, and a space for storing small distractions. The aim here is to place small items that may distract the user on the back of the table so that they can only focus on their work on the Tabs.
There are three drawers just below the table. These compartments, which meet the storage needs of the user, blend into the side surface of the table. The sockets located just behind the table aim to prevent the appearance of crowded cables that may occur around the table.
