Air Shield Multifunctional Workstation

Air Shield Multifunctional Workstation is an innovative workplace solution designed to address the challenges of maintaining workplace safety and connectivity in modern office environments, particularly in response to airborne pathogen concerns. This sophisticated dual-fan and filter system represents a significant advancement in office furniture design, combining air purification technology with workspace protection through strategically directed air currents. Developed by designers Jung Joo Sohn and Barbara Young, this Bronze A' Design Award-winning creation features an extruded aluminum housing with perforated surfaces and removable molded plastic end caps, incorporating HEPA filters enhanced with specialized Germ Defense material. The system's dimensions of 57 inches in width, 31.10 inches in depth, and 28.50 inches in height make it adaptable to various workplace settings, while its adjustable steel screw-clamp with protective rubber pads ensures secure attachment to existing work surfaces. The design's innovative approach lies in its ability to create invisible barriers through controlled air circulation, effectively protecting occupants while maintaining visual connectivity and workplace collaboration. Motion sensors intelligently activate directional air curtains based on occupant presence, while the dual-fan system provides both air purification and subtle white noise benefits for enhanced acoustic privacy. The sustainable design philosophy extends beyond immediate health concerns, offering long-term utility through its multifunctional capabilities, including allergen reduction and acoustic management, making it a valuable addition to modern office environments focused on employee well-being and workplace efficiency.
