Many offices, workspaces and areas for getting work done these days have an open-concept design, so the 'Friendly Border' is a pop-up privacy shade that could help users to enjoy enhanced concentration in public spaces.
The unit features a paper fan design that comes in two size options and is capable of being popped open for use whenever required to immediately divide a workstation. The stylish, noninvasive design of the divider will provide privacy without completely eliminating the social factor of working in open-concept offices or public spaces.
The 'Friendly Border' is the design work of Njustudio and features an ultra-portable form that can be easily tucked away when not being used or even taken with the user between locations for impromptu privacy when required.
