If you work in an open-plan office, you know how difficult it can be to find some privacy and quiet. Ikea has thought of you.
When it comes to technology, the environment in which we work on our computers is just as important as the devices themselves. Ikea, the Swedish furniture giant, has just unveiled a new range of office furniture that promises to revolutionize our workspaces. And one product in particular caught our attention: the Mittzon desk.
At first glance, the Mittzon desk looks like it came straight out of a science fiction movie. But don’t let its looks fool you — this desk is packed with practical features in an open-plan office or at home.
Priced at 500 euros, the Mittzon desk rests on an aluminum frame and is equipped with a stretched felt cover. This tarpaulin, in addition to providing an aesthetic touch, serves as visual and sound protection, thus providing a calmer and more private work space. Ikea describes the Mittzon as a small workstation for teleworking, but I imagine it very well in open space to create a more peaceful working environment. On the other hand, you can only install a laptop PC there, there is no room for a PC monitor.
Lots of new references
In addition to the Mittzon desk, Ikea’s new range includes a variety of desks that are manually height adjustable from 65 to 85 cm. This feature allows users to customize the height of their workspace, certainly for a more comfortable and healthier posture.
The Mittzon folding table, on the other hand, offers a practical solution for limited workspaces. When not in use, the table top can be tilted 90 degrees for easy and efficient storage.
Ikea completes its range of office furniture with a selection of room dividers and acoustic shields. These accessories, which include pedestals and dividers, help create more intimate and quieter workspaces, reducing distractions and improving concentration.
All these new products will be available from the end of March 2024.
