Escort (2021)

A transportable working space

Many companies have come up with the concept of mobility in recent years. Employees are free to arrange their office time and location as they will. Some of them would like to work from home, while others decide to be in a park or a cafe. Some people may attend two project meetings in different cities in the morning and at night, as they also take care of some business on the way as well. This freedom that people can switch work locations is convenient, but sometimes it could be a challenge. Because for these people, they need to continue their works in a new environment, no matter it is on the way or at the destination. This unfamiliar environment could bringing unsafe feelings and difficulties to concentration.

Escort facilitates a relatively familiar and privacy-protected working environment even during the move by creating a portable workspace. On the way, Escort presents in the form of a hand bag which can be use as a storage bag for office supplies. When it is open, the two wooden covers become a working surface and pin-up wall, sized to hold a 15-inch laptop. Combined with the folding structure on the side, it creates a small personal space that provides an eye-protection.
