The conceptual 'Stratum: Workplace Thermal Comfort' has been designed by Tony Elkington as a desktop accessory for office workers to help them enjoy a personalized temperature setting.
The mat works by being positioned onto a desk as a spot for the wrists and forearms to rest, and will provide either heating or cooling according to the needs of the user. This would work to greatly enhance the comfort for those in an office by providing a personalized sense of heat or cool, depending on their specific preference.
The conceptual 'Stratum: Workplace Thermal Comfort' is compact enough to be easily used on any desktop and maintains a self-regulating design that responds in real-time to the needs of the user. This will eliminate the need to constantly change the temperature setting throughout the day.
