Designer's Workbench

Easy Adjustable Working and sitting Height Design.
Ergonomic light for continuous working

The workflow followed a structured procedure involving analysis of a existing products, finding problems and then generating series of solution to find an enhanced experience with the product.

A detailed research was carried out by the team, employing both primary research – where in we carried out brain storming, interviews of students from our own university as well as visiting the esteemed National Institute of Design (NID). We also visited industrial design companies manufacturing work benches in Ahmadabad and secondary research by searching internet employing various search engines.

The research helped in identifying the problems in terms of inconvenience using the existing workbenches in our institutes and then formulating the design statement. We utilized various tools like generating persona boards, inspiration board leading to concept generation, followed by proto-typing and later utilizing the power of computer to render the proto-type as real product.

The concept virtual prototype design is based on the Pythagoras Theorem:  Changing the Base of right angled triangle changes the altitude proportionately, thus imparting adjustable height to workspace, the second prototype uses the simple scissor joint movement to achieve the similar height adjustment. The stress analysis of both the method reveal that the first design with simple push bar for height adjustment is more stable for the workbench.
