STEELCASE POWER PUCK
During my internship, I was tasked with developing a power solution that fits multiple sizes and lines of Steelcase conference tables. I focused on an equally accessible, visually recessed and agnostic solution.

My team's goal was to produce a power solution within varying contexts, including conference tables, hybrid meeting tables, personal work stations, and smaller collaborative spaces.
Design considerations included:
-
Project budget and manufacturing costs/ processes
-
Intended user interaction
-
Aesthetic applicability into a variety of spaces. Agnostic and unobtrusive.
-
Existing power solutions in Steelcase lines
-
Adaptability to various power needs (input type, voltage, etc.)
-
Equally accessible to users regardless of position of access.
The final product design features a puck shaped power strip, with a recessed lip surrounding the object. This lip allows the power puck to be pulled/ picked up from any position within reach distance.
The casing was sized to support a variety of internal hardware applications- allowing the housing to support various outlet types.
