Open Sohko Design helps people transform warehouses and other spaces into usable offices and studios with open-source designs like WFH office cubicles. The Japanese design initiative shares the expertise of professional designers and architects in a generous way, as seen with the Transform Box by design group NOSIGNER, which expands to form a personal mobile office.
The DIY workspace includes not just desk space but also room for storing books and supplies. There's also room for making coffee and the option to pack up the box for portability.
Thanks to Open Sohko Design, there are also plenty of other open-source design files for assembling everything from ladder shelves, stools and foldable LED lamps made out of cardboard, which could be used to accessorize this unit.
