If working from home is a drag because your space is too tiny and constrained, Ori’s Pocket Office may be the solution you’ve been looking for. Transform your home into a comfortable workspace in seconds using robotic furniture designed and engineered by Ori, one of the industry’s leading robotic furniture start-ups who are on a quest to save you space while working comfortably from home.
Make Room for Room
Many people have been working remotely these last few years, and while being home-based has its benefits, there are some drawbacks. Compared to the office, homes can be cramped, with too little room for a comfortable desk alongside your television stand or bed. Faced with this problem, workers often spend hours in coffee shops and restaurants battling the invasive din of the public space over their homes and apartments.
Sometimes, you don’t feel like eating out or sitting for hours at a restaurant using the wifi to get the job done; you want to be in your own space. Unfortunately, that space is just not there, and with apartments getting smaller, figuring out how to divide your professional and private life in your home can be challenging. Who doesn’t want to be able to transition between working and relaxing with the least amount of hassle? Thankfully, the ‘Pocket Office’ is here to save the day.
Robotics
Robotic furniture has been around for over a decade. Still, the industry is growing more prominent, primarily as more people work remotely. Property is also becoming more expensive, with buyers paying more for less. A solution to these two problems is robotic furniture, which can expand into an office space equipped with high-quality office furniture and disappear retracting behind modular space, offering a sleek and visually pleasing fixed wall unit for your television and entertainment purposes, all at the touch of a button.
Ori’s Pocket Office was designed to unlock the full potential of smaller living spaces, and this unit does the job in two sizes: medium and large. If it’s time to get to work, 20 seconds is all it takes for your ‘Pocket Office’ to expand and transform your room into a fully-fledged workstation. The exterior of most ‘Pocket Office’ units is coated in whitish tones, enabling the unit to blend into its surroundings, which helps make a small room feel even more spacious.
The inner office space has room for up to two large screen monitors and a solid 15-inch deep desk, with built-in shelving for books and other items of interest. The workstation has dimmable LED lighting and a pin board for all your notes and ideas. The station offers a desk for sitting and standing, with easy access to power sockets for powering your electronic devices.
Separating Work Life From Home Life
Besides saving you space, the other important function of the Ori ‘Pocket Office’ is to provide a way for workers to create a workspace that feels separate and distinct from their home environment. As convenient as working from home can be, sometimes the clash of worlds can be jarring and unpleasant.
The Ori ‘Pocket Office’ enables you to separate these two aspects of your life just enough to create the illusion that you are actually in a real office away from home. When the slog of the day is over, you press the control button on the panel or via an app, and you’re almost instantly transported home, where you can withdraw and relax for the rest of the evening without your office chair or desk staring back at you constantly reminding you about work. It feels like being in two distinct locations, but it’s all in a tiny room. Sadly, Ori has not yet made the ‘Pocket Office’ available to the general public. However, the unit is available in various real estate developments in partnership with Ori.
