The Openaire Laptop Case/ Workstation, designed by NICK+BEAU, collaboration between brothers Nick and Beau Trincia, is a laptop case that doubles as a work surface with a lightweight folding chair so you can work any anytime, anywhere. The folding chair is formed by individual panels and encloses the carrying case/work surface for portability while traveling.

An integrated, semi-rigid protective sleeve makes up the ergonomic laptop work surface and the protective shell  becomes a comfy, portable seat. The Openaire comes with a padded compartment within the case to ensure the safety of your laptop/ notebook. While resting on your lap, the case provides additional storage space for accessories and hardware. This hybrid allows you the flexibility to work almost anywhere, comfortably.

Laptops are supposed to add efficiency and portability to your work, but lugging around that bulky laptop can be anything but convenient. Now there is the PorTable from ItalianOriginale Design Creative Lab. It is a stylish laptop bag for your notebook that doubles as a portable workstation.

The PorTable encloses your notebook neatly and safely, and allows users to work on their systems without the need to pull them out of the bag, meanwhile the sleeves of the bag become a mousepad for both right orleft hand users. Furthermore, the PorTable is customizable with different accessories, materials, and dimensions to accommodate notebooks of various types and sizes.

Check out the Organic Workstation in the picture. That’s the name of this desk concept. Stevie Miles Brewu designed one of the most comfortable, and surely the most ergonomic I’ve seen lately. It’s certainly more ergonomic than my current desk anyway.

It features adjustable positioning related to the angle of seating, a screen, a keyboard and a foot rest. Where do I get one and how much will it cost me? What if I bring my own keyboard and monitor?
