The new Boundary desk is a concept designed by Gwangho Lee, Nara Jung, and Yeowon Yoon. The desk is made to encourage a sense of productivity while also taking a work-like balance into consideration as well. The Boundary has space to hold tools and materials, including space for files and personal items.
The height can be used for either sitting on a tall chair or standing. It is meant to create a new workspace that actually invites users to not work too much, taking breaks when necessary. This can be translated through the purposeful height and size of the desk as it limits its usage only to its essentials. Other features include the area to hold drinks and one side of the desk is able to extend further as a bar for stretching exercises.
