Space: “

5 years ago, the concept of working from any location seemed alien to most employers, but in todays rapidly connected world, it’s more common to find cutting edge researchers working without the constraints of 9-5 and the office life. Part of this process is defining a separate location in which to work from, and not just some random table at the end of the bed. The masters of space optimisation, the Japanese, have developed a Trunk Station that could be useful for those of us who are constantly fighting for a healthy balance of work and play.

The W 906mm x D 615mm H x 1190mm sized melamine resin trunk opens to reveal an very efficient work space, complete with pre-drilled holes for electrical and component wires/cables, a fold out desk, and plenty of shelving for a whole lot of extras.

Whilst many might be put off with shipping the unit from Japan, it shows that companies are embracing the need of remote workers. Who knows, maybe we might see this in Ikea soon?
