(this post is related to my product design class @prattinstitute)
Just wanted to share some notes i took in an evernote notebook for tonight’s class (if someone knows a way to share notebooks to posterous… plz share).
The classic organizer:
My starting point:
For many people, their “desks” are where they live most of the day. And many of these environments are overwhelming disasters.
Assumptions:
- Desk organization is not as much “pen and stuff” than it is “cable, cords, light, electro devices.. mgmt)
- There is no more “desk” -> the desk is mobile
- There are enough desk organization boxes and so on, we need better workplaces (space planning, work habits, etc)
Some inspiration:
- The “best” solution i found on the web
- pictures of workspaces
- kant table (merci @blancpain)
- Ideo office in Palo Alto
- Bounty towels in general 🙂
- Fondue chinoise service
- Camping necessaire
- DIY-Moleskine enclosure
I made a quick solo Brainstorm and thought about the following attributes for Desk organizers:
- Display vs. Hide
- Collect vs. Emphasis
- every object has its place vs. the space is “open”
- movable vs. fix
- on desk vs. off desk
Until now, all that i have are these 7 very well documented ideas 😀
Stay tuned
