An organizer for the hybrid office enviornment.



As office spaces adopt a more flexible way of working (e.g. shared desks, pods, & huddle spaces). We see an increased need for lockers to store personal supplies, as well as an item to help transport those supplies around the office.

Carrying in hands.

Pros:

  • No organization
  • Limited amount of supplies you can take with you


Carrying in tote/bag.

Pros:
  • You are able to carry more things at once
  • Safer way to transport laptop than carrying in hands
  • Bag allows you to express your personality

Cons:
  • Totes have little organization

How might we create an organized way to transport supplies around the office without compromising efficiency or style.
