Round 8

Option 1:

The brief is to design a full set of executive office furniture products which consist of a desk, meeting table, coffee table and cabinets with different dimensions and compositions. The products must be designed with laminated boards and can include metal structure or base. Imbedding technology is preferable in such product, as this is what will be expected by the user. Designing an executive product can be very challenging, as the design must solely focus on comfort, aesthetics and functionality. This equation is to be solved while considering that these products are to be mass produced with the minimal impact on our environment


Option 2:

The brief is to design a modular seating system that offers a wide range of seating compositions and configurations. This seating system must include different back and side height options that can be used in various environments. The product must be identified by its sound acoustic solutions capabilities using locally sourced materials. Structure can be made out of wood or metal depending on the design goals. The aim is to design a comfortable versatile product that creates a private space  and provides shelter for more focused conversations and collaboration.
