Olab System

Year 2023
Program Design Process
Duration 6 months

Special Mention NewDesign Contest 2023

Design flexible and multifunctional home furniture responding to new needs emerging during and after the pandemic: remote work, self-care, and coexistence of different activities in the same space.
 

Olab is an innovative furniture system that adapts to users’ needs through a circular form and customizable modules.
It organizes workspaces efficiently, creating ergonomic and flexible setups for multiple simultaneous activities.
Olab is composed of a computer station, a workbench, an adjustable drawing table, an organizer trolley, and an organizer bench.
