HEM: A desk for home office

Moats surround castles, palaces and cities to protect and provide privacy. HEM offers you a domain working area and blocks out distractions from surroundings. Each component serves as a different role on the desk guarding its own duty.

The inspiration was from seeing that moats surrounded castles, palaces and cities to protect them and provides privacy to people. Therefore, I wanted to create a working desk that offered users a domain working area and blocks out distractions from surroundings. Each component served as a different role on the desk guarding its own duty. There was a panel that a power strip could sit in along with cords management system. The groove on the wood top and a back panel provided a display area of books. The digital devices could also place on the other panel next to it.
