Pop-up dog holes are made so that the pop-up dog does not come out through the top. Its design to allow for the extending distance without protruding over the surface when not in use.
After conducting research, we identified a need for a more adaptable workspace in classrooms, particularly for project-based classes. The current table setup, while stable with steel legs, lacks the flexibility to promote hands-on work, innovation, and creativity.
To address this issue, we've developed a new work table featuring pop-up dogs for attaching various accessories. These pop-up dogs can be easily activated with a single press, extending when needed and lying flat against the table when not in use, preserving students' workspace.
In collaboration with the accessories team, we've designed a range of components that securely attach to the table via the pop-up dogs. This ensures compatibility and functionality across different attachments. Looking ahead, we plan to expand the range of accessories available to accommodate evolving student needs.
This innovative design aims to provide students with a versatile and customizable workspace that encourages creativity and practical engagement in classroom activities.
