vision for the future of Living and working: FIeld-storage system

Vision for the future of work and living space. Field Work-System is a multi-desk, work and storage system which lets a user create personalised, preset working environments to manage their day. Research shows that adaptable workspaces have great benefits. However, optimising and re-shuffling a workspace during the day can be time consuming. Use the Field Work-System to curate personalised work-boards (perhaps task- oriented), use them interchangeably as ‘presets’ throughout your day and gain the advantages of a more purposeful, immediate & adaptable working style. Colourful & portable work-boards make setting-up and packing-away your workspace more efficient, and provides a new and alternative way to be organised.
