ID AID: Products that promise new possibilities | News | Architonic

There is no question that almost everyone who uses a computer as their main mode of work has taken a giant step into the future in the past three years. Now it’s suddenly no longer just digital nomads trying to escape the rigid structures of an antiquated office age in coworking spaces and cafés. At least one day of home office per week is now the norm rather than the exception. Mobile or teleworking has become part of everyday life. This has become possible because we now have digital tools – as well as the will to use them – to perform tasks for which sitting together was once indispensable.

So far, so clear. But what influence does digitalisation have on the design of the rooms, furniture and accessories that surround us? And who better to answer this than someone who has, to a certain extent, dedicated his work to the subject of the office: Sven v. Boetticher runs the Stuttgart-based industrial design studio ID AID. Not exclusively, but predominantly, von Boetticher and his team design for manufacturers in the office context – for example, Interstuhl, Wilkhahn, Wagner, Häfele and Bachmann.
