commission for
During my time at UP-Designstudio I had the chance to take on a commission for Leitz. The latest addition to their ERGO line: the ultra-thin, height-adjustable aluminum laptop stand. Complicated name for a surprisingly simple product.
The challenge was hidden in the simplicity of the product. The customer demanded that the laptop stand should be manufactured from only one square piece of aluminum. Visually it should match the aesthetic of the remaining products of the ergo line. Very difficult of there is only one plane to design on.
The final product is a height-adjustable stand that can be used for both laptops and tablets. It is slim, intuitive to use and visually appealing.
The laptop stand is now a part of the Leitz Ergo line and sold on various online shops. The final product can be seen on the website attached below. The laptops stand received very positive feedback from both designers and developers at Leitz and UP-Designstudio.
