INSPIRATION: With today's technologies more professionals seek a better balance between work and life and more companies adopt flexible work from home options, regardless of trade or business activities. This concept of remote working gives the employee the flexibility and freedom to choose when, where and how to engage in task activities. With this conception in mind we set off to create a work space that is adaptable in the organizing of its accessories and represents the idea of working without walls.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Clipe is an adaptable workspace solution designed for individual needs. With the possibility to configure its elements it helps to have a more organized space. All this to provide the user a better work from home experience. With a simple and contemporary structure clipe is a product that goes along with the warmth of everyday home furniture without leaving behind its functionality at the hour of performing any tasks. Its name clipe, is related to the way the set of trays of different sizes engage with the desks structure giving them the opportunity to adapt to different needs.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: 194/5000
The interaction with the product is very intuitive and does not need screws to move their trays. They are encased in the wooden structure and can be freely interchanged.

The set of mobile trays are made from folded 24 gauge steel sheets with a out stepping flange that connects with the desk structure. All joining elements are Allen head metric screws with screwed in caps.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Our research focused mainly on studying the type of work that can be done from home, what elements surrounds each of the users and in what space of the house they are made. In this way we were able to define the type of interchangeable supports and general appearance of the product.
CHALLENGE: Our biggest challenge was to choose a system that would allow an intuitive exchange of parts without using screws or other grip systems. At the same time, another challenge was to achieve a balance between the simplicity of the product, functionality and that it looked contemporary and of high quality.
