Since the 90s, work spaces have become far less formal in many industries and people are downsizing from homes to condos. With that in mind, the Smith Pro is a great solution.
The Smith Pro is a mobile metal storage unit that also doubles as an informal seat. It can also be attached to a desk to increase storage. Designed by Jonathan Olivares, the Smith Pro comes in white, red, black, and grey.
Implications - It would be perfect for those living in cramped urban environments as it maximizes the efficiency of small spaces. One can fill it with novels and paperwork, and stack their laptops, phones and flowers on its smooth surface.
