The Fokus Desk is designed to address the common challenges faced by home office users. With its unique features and thoughtful design, it offers a solution that goes beyond the traditional desk.
One of the standout features of the Fokus Desk is its organizational capabilities. It includes a T-shaped slot to hold cables, ensuring a clutter-free workspace. The super slim drawer provides storage for essential items, while compartments under the desk offer additional space for organization. The desk also features insets for pens and a flap that raises the laptop height for video calls, making it a versatile and adaptable workspace.
Another key strength of the Fokus Desk is its ergonomic design. It is built with the user's comfort in mind, allowing for optimal posture and reducing strain during long hours of work. The desk's light-weight construction makes it easy to move and reposition, providing flexibility for different work styles and preferences.
The Fokus Desk is made using high-quality materials. The table top, drawer, storage, catch, and cable compartments are crafted from Dupont Corian, a durable and customizable material. The main frame and support legs are built with plywood, finished with maple wood veneer. This combination of materials ensures both durability and sustainability, with easy disposal and recycling options.
Setting up the Fokus Desk is a breeze. The table top can be easily pulled up and secured with a C-catch on both sides. The support leg swings out for stability, distributing the weight of the table top through rotational pivot points and the support leg. Packing up is just as simple, with the table top dropping down and the support legs folding in automatically.
The Fokus Desk project started in August 2014 and was completed in February 2015 in Singapore. It was exhibited at the URA Gallery in Singapore in March 2015, showcasing its innovative design and functionality. The design process involved extensive research, including visits to home offices and collaborative spaces, surveys, and environmental verification through photographs.
The Fokus Desk has received recognition for its outstanding design. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2015. This prestigious award acknowledges the desk's creative and ingenious design, incorporating best practices in art, science, design, and technology.
With its focus on organization, ergonomics, and aesthetics, the Fokus Desk is a must-have for anyone looking to create a productive and inviting home office space. Its unique features and thoughtful design make it a standout choice for those seeking a desk that goes beyond the ordinary.
