A Study on The All-in-one Home Office Desk Design for Single-person Household MZ Generation

The telecommuting has become commonplace focusing on large domestic and foreign companies as the untact work culture spreads due to the impact of COVID-19. And even after the end of COVID-19, it is prospected that the ‘hybrid telecommuting’, a mixture of home and office works, will be continued for a prolonged period. In line with rapidly changing social trends, the interest in the Home Office environment has increased for the past two years to improve the productivity of telecommuting, and the sales of study and related furniture also surged. What should be noted is the MZ generation located at the center of these consumptions. The MZ generation, born in the early 1980s to early 2000s, is familiar with the digital environment and sensitive to new technologies. In addition, because it is personal and focuses on independent values, so it pursues reasonable consumption and at the same time has the characteristic of being familiar with flex culture and luxury goods consumption. This study paid attention to ‘one-person household MZ generation’ accounting for the largest proportion among the MZ generation participating in economic activities, and their characteristics, lifestyle, and consumption tendencies were analyzed. And it was tried to find the improvements through the survey and analysis of the current status of Home Office furniture in Korea, and search for solutions. As a study method, the needs were identified by analyzing the space and behavior of the majority of single MZ generation, and ‘All in One-Home Office Desk’ was selected as a development item by extracting four design elements.
