During the pandemic, transparent plastic partitions were seen everywhere, but no one unexpected that these barriers separating people could turn into installations for pleasant work environment. The product of Office of magnum opus, Air Stand, is a screen developed from the idea of plastic partitions. As one of the designers, Hazel WONG, explained, users can assemble and disassemble the components to adjust the space size according to the number of people in meetings.
 

Flexibility in Design
The noise reduction effect of the screen not only creates a privacy space but also promotes the mental health of employees. Another designer, Jackie TING, explains, “Hearing is important to people’s senses for it affects mood and even decisions.” The components of the screen are in various colors. They can be assembled according to the company’s environment layout with creativity, such as using bright colors to create a joyful atmosphere or adjusting the style for festivals to give a fresh feeling.

While the pandemic paved the way, Jackie expects a greater demand in the future in which open office space becomes more common. “Hong Kong design can adapt to the environment and break through boundaries. I believe more brands will gradually grow,” said Jackie.
