Modular workstation has remained virtually unchanged since forty years. Assembled on site over weeks, it does not satisfy the need of clients looking for just in time capacity additions. Our solution, ‘Out of the box Workstation’ reduces that time to 3 minutes!

Transportable, ease of storage, functionality and modern are brief objectives for Planet 3 Studio, thus creating a movable workstation named Out Of Box. Bring it everywhere, open it up as you deem and start an office in quick seconds whenever you want. Say goodbye to heavy furniture combination and also maybe that molding hot-dog stand.

” Make Beautiful Things ” Saul Bass

carlemmanuel — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 03:09:14 +0000

“The fact of the matter is, I want everything we do, that I do personally, that our office does, to be beautiful. I don’t give a damn whether the client understands that that’s worth anything, or that the client thinks it’s worth anything, or whether it is worth anything. It’s worth it to me. It’s the way I want to live my life. I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares.” —Saul Bass
