In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, hybrid work arrangements have surged dramatically, with estimates suggesting that up to 40–50% of the workforce has shifted to a hybrid model. This paradigm shift has spurred the demand for workspaces that seamlessly blend the privacy of individual offices with the collaborative spirit of open environments, creating the need for innovative solutions that can adapt to diverse work styles and spaces.
Drawing inspiration from the multi-helix folding principles of origami and the precise movement of iris mechanisms, the IRIS-BLOOM reimagines the traditional partition into an interactive, kinetic divider. As a user approaches, the modular panels gracefully retract—much like blooming petals—transforming the space into a versatile environment that caters to both concentrated work and spontaneous collaboration. This design approach is rooted in the concept of merging art with technology, as reflected in the project's exploration of folding patterns and mechanical movement

By integrating ambient LED lighting with its kinetic structure, IRISBLOOM partition not only enhances spatial functionality but also elevates the overall work atmosphere. The design fosters a fluid transition between secluded work areas and open communication zones, enabling a dynamic workspace that evolves with its users. This innovative solution stands as a testament to the future of hybrid work environments—one that harmoniously blends individual focus with collective engagement.
新冠疫情之后，混合办公迅速普及，据估计多达 40–50% 的劳动者已转向混合办公模式。这一转变催生了对新型工作空间的需求：既要有独立办公室的私密性，又要有开放环境的协作氛围，因此需要能够适应不同工作方式与空间的创新方案。
IRIS-BLOOM 从折纸的多螺旋折叠原理与光圈机构的精确运动中汲取灵感，将传统隔断重新构想为可交互的动态隔断。当使用者靠近时，模块化面板会如花瓣绽放般优雅收拢，将空间转换为既适合专注工作、又适合即兴协作的多功能环境。这一设计思路植根于艺术与技术的融合，体现在项目对折叠图案与机械运动的探索之中。
通过将环境 LED 照明与动态结构相结合，IRIS-BLOOM 隔断不仅提升了空间功能，也营造出更好的整体工作氛围。设计让独立工作区与开放交流区之间可以流畅切换，形成一个随使用者不断变化的动态工作空间。这一创新方案展现了混合办公环境的未来——让个人专注与集体协作和谐共存。
