OFFICE… SWEET OFFICE

Throughout our lives, we have experienced the transformation of different industries that have left behind objects and behaviors that are unuseful to us, but apart from being destroyed, the public has demanded their return. It doesn't seem to matter how far technology advances to be able to discard the old, because there always seems to be someone who prefers analog, manual, or vintage.

The romanticization of the extinct is so powerful that it can revive it, but the true value it brings is that it curbs the impulse to throw away the old and focuses on refining the good qualities that the already existing ones had.

We live in an era where we are killing the office, and work environments are constantly changing. What will happen then when, in ten years, there is this longing for traditional workspaces?

Faced with this scenario, a toy was created for the workspace that serves as an object of memory and consideration for traditional workspaces. The toy works as entertainment but also as a tool to raise awareness of the progress and evolution of our understanding of work.

The "toy" consists of a phone that will transport the user to a traditional office through random calls. The object itself is the convergence of time, where the past, present, and future meet to reflect on the different dynamics of workspaces.
