Since March, millions of people around the world have been forced to figure out how to work from home, from improvised office space to quick childcare solutions.
Panasonic’s solution is Komoru, a desk and partition that can be assembled at home and create a kind of mini cubicle. The company conducted of survey of 1000 people currently working from home, and found that about half of them are working out of their living rooms. With that situation in mind, Panasonic created a design that fits into the average living room without taking over the space.
Many studios have released remote work solutions since the coronavirus pandemic hit. Most of those designs have been tiny backyard offices, which are no doubt useful to have, but they typically cost tens of thousands of dollars. In comparison, Komoru is a relative deal at about 88,000 yen, about $835, when it goes on sale in September in Japan.
Take a look.
