CAPSTONE PROJECT
SHIFT
As working from home became increasingly prevalent over the past year, people have had to make adjustments to accommodate this change. However, lack of space has continued to be a challenge for those working and living in smaller shared dwellings.
Shift is a two piece design that augments seating areas in the home into more productive work environments. Intended for young professionals who predominantly work from a laptop, the product provides privacy from the visual and auditory distractions associated with small open plan living spaces. Its addition “shifts” your mindset and focus by assigning pre-existing furniture with a new function and purpose.
