Office playthings have become immensely popular since the quick rise of the fidget spinner last year, so the conceptual 'URSA' desktop toy is an example of what is being developed with workplace play in mind.
Designed by Dmitriy Baltovskiy, the toy works by allowing users to project foam darts at their colleagues from their desk to start a lighthearted war that helps staunch workplaces break out of their daily grind. The see-through design of the toy with red accents makes it a stylish addition to your workstation that won't detract from the overall look of your space.
The 'URSA' desktop toy speaks to the evolution of the modern office from a drab space for productivity to a healthy environment where teams can get work done in a more relaxed area.
