Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The E-Spot Public Transport Working Place is an Open Office On the Go

— November 4, 2011 — Eco
The stressed and conscientious will always find ways to get their tasks done in transit, which is where the E-Spot Public Transport Working Place comes in handy. The blinders and relative privacy that allow many to work much more efficiently are otherwise impossible to come by when trying to achieve productivity on the train station platform.

So Teresa Cots has come up with a concept for a compact stand-alone cubicle, designed specifically for installation in transit terminals. In order to remain spatially logical, the close-packed partitioned unit wraps itself around existing obstacles like columns, piers and pillars.


The E-Spot Public Transport Working Place would be assembled of 60% Syntrewood which is derived from recycled plastic. Each pod encloses a bench to seat two people and a small desk.
Trend Themes
1. Transit Workspace - The rise of public transit workspaces creates opportunities for companies to develop products and services that cater to professionals who work on the go.
2. Eco-friendly Materials - The use of eco-friendly materials, such as Syntrewood, presents an opportunity for businesses to promote sustainable practices and reduce their environmental impact.
3. Personalized Workspaces - As commuting workspaces become more prevalent, there is an opportunity to develop customizable workstations to cater to individual needs and preferences.
Industry Implications
1. Transportation - The transportation industry can further integrate workspaces into their public transit offerings, providing a unique selling point for their services.
2. Sustainability - Companies in the sustainability industry can collaborate with transit authorities to incorporate more eco-friendly materials and practices into public transit workspaces.
3. Office Furniture Design - The rise of portable workspaces creates opportunities for designers to create ergonomic furniture that can easily transform from a cubicle to a bag or carry case.
