The COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped the way we work. This is a course project for Intro to Objects & Artifacts as part of my Foundation semester at IIT ID that involved exploring the topic of Future of Work and designing a product that fits the needs of work styles for individuals or teams to work from home, in office or on-the-go. My proposed design is a personal portable furniture piece that enables freedom to shift from traditional workspace, move around, change setting and promotes work from anywhere.

Flexby is multi-purpose and has three forms - it can be used as a mat, a piece with back support and a stool.

The Space Between : Flexby disrupts the status quo of working at designated spaces by promoting freedom and flexibility. It paves a way for change by promoting conceptual shifts for organizations to reinvent and redesign work culture as well as work spaces.
