Chances are, you’ve assembled the perfect home office setup for yourself, which might include more than one monitor, a raised view, and hidden cables. The thing about working from home, though, is that you’ll sometimes feel like shooting emails from your sofa or doing research on your kitchen table with a yogurt cup in hand. It’s like having a picnic (sans the enjoyment).
Logitech believes that even when you’re stuck in your pajamas, you can still have an efficient workday anywhere in your own abode. The consumer tech brand has introduced the Casa Pop-Up Desk, a versatile foldaway kit designed to harmonize work and home settings. It houses a laptop stand, a wireless keyboard, a touchpad, and storage space, which are all conveniently packed inside a compact case à la a bento box, as PCWorld describes.
Wrapped in a fabric cover, the Casa kit effortlessly transforms into a laptop stand, providing a smoothing transition from work mode to a sleekly concealed design piece.
And when the day concludes, the setup discreetly folds back into the shape of a book. You can put it away on your shelf to keep work out of sight.
Meanwhile, the Bluetooth-enabled wireless keyboard and smooth touchpad replicates a laptop-like experience around the house for users on Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and iPadOS. The Casa Keys and Casa Touch can last up to five months and three weeks, respectively, on a single charge, and are built in with charging ports.
On the ergonomic side, the laptop stand can be positioned to meet your eye level to enable better posture during prolonged work hours. Doing so could boost comfort levels by 40%, according to Logitech.
The stand offers versatile compatibility with Apple and Windows laptops and tablets, supporting devices ranging from 10 to 17 inches and accommodating up to 16.5 pounds.
With that said, the whole unit is a bit heavy, weighing in at about 2.65 pounds.
Worth noting is that the kit’s entirety—the touchpad, keyboard, and case—is partially constructed from post-consumer recycled material. The pop-up set also arrives in FSC-certified carbon-neutral paper packaging.
For now, the Casa Pop-Up Desk is only available on the UK and Australian websites. UK customers can purchase the kit for £179.99 (US$228).
