- The product is mainly made of plywood. The desk leg is made of medium carbon steel, and is sprayed with environmentally friendly powder. The solid frame structure is safe and reliable.
- Project Duration
- This project started in July 2019, and finished in July 2020 in Hangzhou, China. It launched on the market in August 2020.
- Operation Flow
- The Venus Study Desk adopts the technology of turbo worm drive, which can realize the free height adjustment from 520 to 760mm. The use of synchronous belt transmission technology and the innovative design of the foldable winding handle moves the lifting adjustment from the back to the front. It helps users to adjust table height easily while remaining seated, greatly improving the user experience. The tilting tabletop adopts gas spring adjustment. Thus, the tabletop angle can be changed with a light pull. The desktop multifunctional box was equipped with a wireless charging module for phones and pads.
- Research
- The Venus study desk is designed for the new online educational environment. In user research, we found that with the development of China's Internet industry, online education has also developed rapidly. More than 80% of our user families have or intend to conduct online education. In this environment, the existing desks on the market and our existing products cannot meet the needs of online learning well. Thus, we designed this new study desk with the purpose of exploring demands of online learning.
- Inspiration
- Recently, due to the impact of the pandemic, most schools in China have begun to use online teaching, and the time for children to study at home has increased significantly. The height, comfort and function of ordinary desks cannot meet the changing needs of children in their growth. Long-term use of inappropriate desks and chairs can be harmful to learning efficiency and physical health. The Venus Study Desk is an adjustable study desk designed to create good home learning space and help kids better study online at home.
