Ever since employees discovered that they didn’t always have to be in the office to still be productive, there has been an increase in people who prefer working in another space instead of their cubicle. That also means there are more product designers thinking of furniture, tools, and accessories that would cater to this segment of digital nomads.
Designers: Seokoo Yeo, Woojin Jang, and Dowan Kim
Worknic is a portable desk that was developed through the Samsung Design membership program that is sponsored by Samsung Electronics. It lets you roll out and put up your desk in any space and change your working environment in case the walls of an office or your room are not doing it for you anymore. It also comes with a power source so you don’t always need to be beside a wall socket.
It’s a pretty big contraption to carry around but it comes equipped with wheels so you can roll it to wherever you plan to work. Once you’ve chosen your space, you just park it and pull out various bells and whistles to set up your desk, including stands, a worktable, and a power source. There also seems to have a stool that you can pull out to complete your office in the wilds.
There doesn’t seem to be much information about how long the power source will last or what are the other features of the work table or how heavy or light it will be. Design-wise however, it seems to be a pretty solid option for those who want to work in the park, at the beach, or wherever brings them more inspiration.
