The Conceptual 'Balance' Workstation Reduces Screen Time

Professionals today spend endless hours in front of their terminal immersed in work, so the conceptual 'Balance' workstation is designed to help change this by highlighting analog functionalities. The multifunctional workstation boasts a canvas along with six different module types including White Board, Surface, Kanban, Cork, Shelf and Time that can be magnetically affixed. This will enable workers to keep an eye on what needs to be done and more without having to feel completely attached to their laptop, computer or smartphone.

The conceptual 'Balance' workstation is the design work of Hernan Gregorio and Julia Stabio who spoke on the system saying, "The idea behind Balance product is to use digital interfaces as inspiration to create a new hybrid experience for the user. The form and modular qualities of the design evoke the digital touchscreen interfaces we use every day but with a tridimensional layer that creates a tactile and tangible experience. This new approach brings builds a bridge between the connectivity and structure of the digital environment and the visual and physical experience of products."
