Abstract: Out of all the information I gathered and with close attemption I create a concept furniture that offers the opportunity to work on the places that are supportive for our creative tasks. On one hand it allows us to be more free to be able to go with our flow. But on the other hand we have to restrict ourselfes. It is necessary to focus on the task to see the goal and to prepare to achieve this goal by finding inspiration and focus on the way. The portable research lab will have capacity for the most needed things. What is needed today and what can be left home? Over the time this process of choosing will create a ritual we will perform on every working-day. Prepare the goals for the day, set the mind and ourselfes on the way. This is an important part of this piece of furniture. It tries to get us away from a routine, where we only take our laptop, pen and paper because anything else we will find in the action setting where we will go to. It will trigger our spirit of discovery again.
