Most components of the desk are mobile.
The legs are detachable for the need of quick space reorganization.
Cord management system can be installed within the desk.
A special type of clamp have been developed to attach variable dividers and accessories to the table.
Tables can be physically attached to each other with 'doughnuts'.
Kitchen Budapest as a creative community needed a new tool, which can lift working efficiency to a higher level. This project started as an exercise /experiment on how can a community create themselves a new utensil with the help of design thinking.
The team initiated the research with a week long workshop involving all of the co-workers, to gather opinions on how to improve a steady work tool, the office desk. As the team is a rich variety of creatives (we have programmers, sound designers, researchers, ‘startuppers’ group..etc.) the task became complex, while demands were high by all.
The workshop was followed by a deep investigation and series of experiments to uncover co-workers real need. After drawing conclusions, the design team wrote a punctual brief and generated ideas accordingly.
Long hours spent by staring at colourful post-it sketches and lastly a matrix of ideas were conceived, which were carefully grouped by the brief’s bullet points. Concepts were created further using 3D programs, and the team could move to the workshop to spawn actual mockups. Right now beta desk 3rd prototypes are being tested in house.
The third and final prototype is currently being tested in Kitchen Budapest.
