The conceptual 'Commute' chair has been designed by Andrew Mangelsdorf for DAAPworks 2021 as a furniture solution for the modern professional's home to keep them comfortable during office hours and accommodating design preferences thereafter.
The chair features a cubic design that is covered in a series of zippered panels that connect with one another to create an enclosed area for enhanced privacy. This will enable a person to keep the panels closed when they're on a video call to create the appearance that they are in a professional workspace when they might just be in the living room.
The conceptual 'Commute' chair is designed with a flexible light unit that will brighten up the user's face on calls and provide them with illumination when reading after hours.
