# Mobile Standing Workstations The Magazone Facilitates Improptu Productivity with Great Versatility By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-01-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magazone References: [loookindustries](http://www.loookindustries.com/en/products/item/1-default/3-magazone-stop-and-go-work-space) Do you ever get a stroke of genius after leaving a meeting? You'd better get it written down quickly before the details disappear. The Magazone is a quirky concept that allows you to do this fairly well by offering you a [multipurpose setup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-transformer-table) for accomplishing a variety of tasks on the spot. I couldn't imagine wanting to carry the Loook Industries product around everywhere but its [portability feature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stowaway-lap-desk) is indeed appealing. Gestranius & Lahtinen intended the Magazone as a stop and go workstation. It can be folded out into a [miniature desk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leandesk) with a privacy partition for important phone calls and impromptu meetings. What you'll especially love about this object is its whimsical appearance. Assembled like an oversized music stand, the Magazone has a broad birch backboard with a pair of cast aluminum hands on either side. While using this unusual contraption, you might appear to be reading a massive newspaper to confused passers-by. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Multipurpose Workstations:** Developing portable workstations with multiple functions that enable people to work on-the-go and accomplish multiple tasks efficiently, easily and quickly. - **Privacy-enhancing Workstations:** Developing workstations that include privacy partitions to allow users to take important phone calls and engage in intimate conversations while at work on-the-go. - **Whimsical Workstations:** Developing workstations with a unique, playful design to differentiate from ordinary workstations and appeal to younger generations that value style and aesthetic. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture:** Furniture companies have an innovative opportunity to create portable workstations with a versatile and compact design that cater to the needs of modern workers who prioritize flexibility and mobility. - **Tech Accessories:** Tech accessory companies have an innovative opportunity to create various privacy-enhancing work accessories that allow users to take private phone calls and engage in intimate conversations while at work on-the-go. - **Corporate Gifts:** Corporate gift companies have an innovative opportunity to gift whimsical workstations to different companies to create a fun and lively work environment and differentiate them from ordinary workstations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Portable Desktop Workstation Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neo-box.md) - [Mobile Professional Workstation Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-desk-divider.md) - [Bold Mobile Work Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omniseat-portable-productivity.md) - [Multifunctional Projection Mobile Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atmus-mobile-desk.md) - [Modern Portable Work Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worknic.md) - [Ergonomic Laptop Desk Caddies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-desk-caddy.md) - [Laptop-Stowing Portable Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lapcase.md) - [Portable Personal Office Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beblau-vertical-office.md) - [Briefcase-Compact Office Set-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-office-1.md)
