The Efi Space Divider Keeps You Focused on the Task at Hand

— November 23, 2011 — Art & Design
I can only wonder as to how much my productivity would increase if I had an Efi space divider in my home office. The Efi space divider is an innovative seclusion system developed by Mathieu Servais. Efi is designed to block out the outside world and help you focus only on the things you need to do.

Efi works in two parts: the first part is an online system where you can manage what you want access to. This can include everything from websites to contacts. The second part of Efi is the massive green shade that can be pulled over the head. The shad both blocks out the world around you and displays the selected channels you've chosen letting you work/veg out in peace. Offices are always trying to get more out of their workers. The Efi space divider would be cheaper than giving every employee their own office and more effective at keeping out the outside world than a cubicle.
