Swing Workstation
a desk environment

Design Objectives:

• Design a mobile & secure workstation

• Incorporate space for sketching, model-making, eating, and computer-usage

• Include pin-up boards, lighting, and power outlets

• Accessible to wheelchair users

 

Partners:

• Caroline Shyu and Sung Jun Kim

Features:

When the desk is open, the chair can be pulled out and used or removed for a wheelchair user to access the desk. Inside the desk are vertical storage spaces for sketchpads and cutting mats; shelving for backpacks and purses to be stored off the floor; and drawers for studio materials and supplies. Additional features include two large pin-up boards to display work, three light sources for optimal visibility, and power outlets with a retractable extension cord for a convenient power supply. When closed, the desk can be locked and rolled to the side of a studio so the space can be cleaned effectively.
