consumer electronics - laptop computer study for fujitsu - client fujitsu (j) domus academy milan (i) project the design plays with the two principle conditions of use: “open-in activity” – “closed-not active”. consequently the outside conveys the idea of being closed - no access is given, the port doors can not be opened, the inside is hidden, nothing works. just like a treasure box. once opened – pressing the bottom on the lid - the inside instead invites with a friendly appeal, with silk surface of nicely shaped palm rests and carefully designed control buttons. access is free: vertical lines on the sides reveal as portslots, a visual indication and a simple means to grip and open all ports. the particularity of the design: simultaneously to the opening of the lid the keyboard lifts thanks to a inventive mechanism. keyboard and palm-rest together offer the right ergonomic inclination. the computer is ready to use right after being opened without any additional height adjustments commonly used at the time. awards 1. prize fujitsu – domus academy competition my role complete development matthias burhenne industrial design 1997
