Tou: The Mobile Lighting Workbench

Revolutionizing Office Work on the Go

Urban office workers often face the challenge of dealing with emergency work outside the office. However, the lighting environment in different places often fails to meet their needs. Additionally, the absence of a suitable work surface can lead to discomfort and inefficiency. Recognizing these issues, designer Shenying He introduces Tou, a mobile workbench that combines LED intelligent lighting technology with convenience and versatility.

Tou is a groundbreaking solution for office workers who frequently find themselves working in unconventional settings. This innovative mobile workbench not only provides a stable surface for laptops but also incorporates adjustable LED lighting to ensure optimal working conditions.

One of the key features of Tou is its automatic adjustment of LED intelligent lighting technology. When the environment's lighting is appropriate, there is no need to pull out the lighting module. However, in situations where the lighting is insufficient, users can simply pull out the lighting module, and it will automatically adjust the brightness to suit the environment. This seamless integration of lighting and workspace makes Tou a truly intelligent and user-friendly solution.

Designed with the needs of urban office workers in mind, Tou offers a compact and portable design. Made from high-quality PC plastic, the workbench is lightweight yet durable. The injection molding technique ensures high production efficiency and dimensional accuracy, while the metal spraying technique provides a protective coating on the lower part of the workbench.

Measuring 380mm x 280mm x 310mm when the lighting module is fully extended, Tou is specifically designed to accommodate 14-inch personal computers. Its size strikes the perfect balance between portability and usability, making it convenient for office workers on the go.

Tou has received recognition for its exceptional design. In 2018, it was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures category. This prestigious award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. Tou's integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics contribute to a better world for office workers.

Tou is not just a mobile workbench; it is a testament to the power of design in enhancing the lives of urban office workers. With its intelligent lighting technology and ergonomic design, Tou ensures that office workers can tackle their tasks efficiently and comfortably, regardless of their location.
