A Desktop Workstation with a Desk Workstation

Social media marketing company Goodstuph was invited to create a custom ~~packaging~~ packable workspace (thanks to g for pointing this out) for the HP Z1 all-in-one workstation, a corrugated flatpack that was sent to 20 Singapore-based architects, animators, photographers and designers.

The desk for the 27” computer measures 1m × 1.6m (~3.2 ft × 5.2 ft), with 250+ individual cardboard slats that form an interlocking honeycomb structure for the legs of the desk.

Designer Pat Law writes:When assembled, the cardboard direct mailer transfers into an actual-size cardboard desk, redefining the space to which the recipient currently works in. The cardboard desk is designed in such that the assembly requires no tools, and is capable of holding up to 30 kilograms—approximately the weight one may have on his or her own desk.

Assembling 20 Ikea pieces is enough for me. 250+, forget it.

the first line is misleading - this isn't packaging for the Z1.

They were invited to design a cardboard workspace to promote the Z1.

This is meant to be a direct mailer that can be assembled into a desk without tools, and demonstrates "above all, actual space required should one have the HP Z1 Workstation".
