foldable under-mount storage | Workspace 48 (2025)
THE PROBLEM: DO PERSONAL STORAGE UNITS HAVE TO look this way?
Personal storage solutions have remained largely unchanged for years. While functional, many of Workspace 48's designs feel dated, uninspiring and lack the quality and aesthetic appeal that modern users expect. Existing solutions from Workspace 48's catalogue often rely on laminate finishes and generic forms, making it difficult for products to stand out in an increasingly design-conscious market.
For Workspace 48, the challenge extends beyond aesthetics. Their current portfolio lacks an under-mount storage solution, while much of the market offers little differentiation or innovation.
At the same time, global manufacturing and distribution constraints have limited the range of colours, finishes and SKU options available, further restricting opportunities for customisation.
The rise of "Resi-mercial" LOOK
As hybrid work becomes the norm, users are increasingly seeking for furniture that fits seamlessly into both the office and the home.
The result? A growing demand for storage solutions that combine functionality with warm, residential-inspired designs.
Some user needs we identified include...
Storage that complements any environment
quick & intuitive
assembly with minimal tools required
designed for a streamlined supply chain.
Great design doesn't stop with the user experience.
For office furniture supply chains, distributors brands, and manufacturers, transportation and logistics play a critical role in product selection. Traditional storage units are often bulky and non-collapsible, resulting in higher inbound and outbound freight costs and reduced shipping efficiency.
To remain competitive, office furniture brands need products that are optimised for transportation, storage and distribution.
Some manufacturers needs we identified include...
more color &
CMF options
space-efficient packaging
streamlined
supply chain
