The Office Go
In collaboration with:
Bachelor Graduation Project
In the summer of 2020, I graduated with my BSc with a project for Pactics. A textile goods manufacturer based in Cambodia. Their current offerings are solely B2B and to become more independent they came up with the project to create a product to sell on their own.
Flexible working
For their first consumer-oriented product, I focussed on a growing trend that got fast-tracked during Covid. Working outside the office in many different places where people would get more inspired while working.
The concept is that everywhere you carry a bag, so what if that bag is actually your office? That you carry your office essentials and a desk that folds out of the bag.
The Result
The finished product is made from 95% recycled and 100% recyclable materials, which partly originate from the scrap bin in Pactics’ factory. The waste material gets recycled into a protective felt for the laptop sleeve. Every element can be manufactured inside their own factory, where they can control the quality of the product and work environment.
The colourful design fully utilizes Pactics capability for sublimation printing and sewing, which also perfectly lends itself to be marketed to the same people in the same place as the gadgets and accessories the products aims to support.
The fold-out laptop sleeve gives structure to the bag and on location folds out to a large enough desk for a laptop, notebook, mouse, and keyboard and can fold into various shapes depending on the desired work environment.
