The work from home (WFH) shift pushed many professionals to repurpose existing furniture into workstations or make the most of [small existing areas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humanscale-float-micro), which caused changes in the design work as evident with the 'Beaktor' workspace furniture solution.

The workstation is characterized by its frame design that features a peg board in the back section along with a [fold-down design area](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ab019-wall-desk) for peripherals like keyboards or mouses. The workstation is perfect for technology items, but can also function effectively as a place for tinkering with small projects and more.

The 'Beaktor' workspace furniture solution was designed by Ernesto Velasco who explained, "Beaktor is a workspace created for a new era to help people and organizations transition to an inspiring and sustainable remote working experience, from home or anywhere. Its industrial design is based on two elements: the frame, comprised of a thick ash wood, and a flip-down central unit that reveals a work surface, and acoustic pegboard panel, and storage compartment.”
