Mullet - a multifunctional workingspace
(2023) In Diploma work IDEL01 20231Industrial Design
- Abstract
- In today’s design environment we are
constantly in movement. Whether it is making
models or tracing a sketch, we need to go to
specific stations intended for the task. It is
not just time consuming but also a problem.
Stress might occur due to the fact that you
never know whether the light table or the
cutting mat will be preoccupied. Designers’
needs are not reached and in the end they
might end up buying their own “Add-ons”
instead of using the stations, which is an
extra cost for them. An extra cost that could
have been reduced if everything they might
need was already installed at their specific
workspace.

Stress might occur due to the fact that you

instead of using the stations, which is an

have been reduced if everything they might
need was already installed at their specific
workspace.
This project was inspired by watching
classmates and hearing other people
who work in a creative profession. How
they wish that their workspace was “more
adapted to their profession, simple and high
functioning”. With this in mind my product
has been developed by the principle of
usability, to help designers in their everyday
life in various areas. Making prototypes and
regular evaluations helped me understand
how we as designers work around our
workspace and how I can ease our design
process.
The result is called MULLET – a multifunctional
desk that can be used in various ways, it can
be a light table, cutting table and has a big
storage so that at the end of the day you can
put all your work away. It is also easy to keep
it organized so that you can always find the
tools you need. It is customazible depending
on which design profession you work with.
The modularity also invites the user to recycle
and switch out the different parts when they
are no longer functional. Which prolongs the
life cycle of the furniture. (Less)
