A team of designers comprised of Haneul Kang, Dohui Kim, Dagyeong Kim, Jeongyoon Kim, and Yunseo Jung created the DESKRISK concept. This is a collection of products that aim to keep the working area tidy and functional. The DESKRISK capsule starts with a minimal desk clock that is programmed to remind users to take a break from screens.
The screen blurs over time which indicates the eyes drying up after a long period. Once the rest is over, users are to move the button on the clock sideways, which clears the blur and restarts the time. The following product is the desk lamp that gradually moves downwards and the final product is a magazine rack with a sagged fabric.
