Shuttle by Jeremy Labelle
Maybe your home is too small for any table, period. Shuttle can be folded into a 15-inch work surface, suitable for toiling from the couch or the bed or the floor. Set it on a table or counter, though, and it’s a standing desk. Or, configure it another way, and use it as a privacy screen.
Everyone’s got a different way of using their space, as Jeremy Labelle realized in the early days of lockdown. On video meetings, his remote colleagues would share their life hacks (and ergonomic nightmares). “There were stories of people having to set up their desk on an ironing board and things like that,” says Labelle, who’s based in Gatineau, Que. But the biggest challenge, as he saw it, wasn’t merely finding a place to work. “I don’t want to see my work stuff when I’m finished,” he says. “So that was the main idea.”
Labelle calls Shuttle a “portable office storage solution.” Lined with vinyl on one side (for easy wipe down), and felt on the other, it contains pockets for the essentials: phone, notebook, laptop, pens, etc. And when quitting time calls, fold it up like a binder, and it’s out of sight, out of mind.
