Nowadays people spend much of their lives indoors in front of a computer monitor and they lose out on the health-bringing effects of spending time outdoors.

We have created an item of furniture that is adapted to working outdoors, principally using a computer. There is currently no optimal site for this since places where one can sit outside are not adapted to office work. Sitting places outside do not protect people from sun, rain and wind. And so, following research, mock-ups and a period of designing we have created an item of furniture which fulfils these requirements.

Our focus and interest in the project has been on aspects of health and feeling healthy and, throughout the project, nature has been a major source of inspiration. We think that our proposal would be beneficial to society and would lead to a livelier urban environment. The population is given opportunities to extend their hours spent outdoors which would promote a higher quality of life and more satisfaction with daily living.

This is a joint project with Lovisa Pettersson, design student at the University of Gävle.
