Abstract

Hillside desk is a product designed for the international design company named TRIP TRAP DENMARK A/S. Through a systematic project scoping, it has been developed out from specific design criteria and user needs. The result is a home office desk that besides emphasising personal design values accommodates teleworking from home. This product is therefore a new product that tries to combine the everyday life with the professional life through its ergonomics and features. The desk consists of a storage box, a lamp and a cable holder. The storage box is designed for documents, and other home office accessories such as pen and paper. The lamp and the cable holder have been integrated into a combined solution that is easily replaceable. Furthermore, the desk is an attempt to attract TRIP TRAP’s young customers aged +30 by using design elements inspired by the company’s GEORGE and OCEAN product series. Through here, Hillside desk creates a coherent connection between the home office desks’ design with existing TRIP TRAP products, attempting to attract other customers through existing design values.
