Synopsis

The project involved coming up with fresh design solutions for the development of a range of executive office furniture in solid wood for modern office cabins and home office scenarios. A detailed analysis of the company was done to understand the design language of the company, manufacturing capabilities and manufacturing
culture followed by a usability study and user testing.

Design inputs and conceptualisation led to the development of a system of furniture that allowed modularity for addressing various space constraints. In the end, four separate furniture pieces were designed and developed having a similar visual language for different clientele.
