We spend a great deal of time designing beautiful objects for the spaces our clients' consumers live in. Occasionally we turn that same lens on the objects we live with ourselves.
Home began as an internal question that we found impossible to ignore: why does the computer monitor, the object that now sits at the centre of so many people's working lives, look like it was designed for the office?
This is a RODD studio vision piece. No client, no brief, no commercial constraint beyond the ones we set ourselves. What it is, is an honest expression of how we see objects in the everyday: not as functional necessities to be tolerated but as things that have an obligation to earn their place in the spaces they occupy. Home is our answer to that obligation.
The design draws from furniture rather than technology. A single timber mast rising from a heavy cast foot brings material warmth to an object category that has forgotten warmth exists. The rear silhouette, often the most neglected surface of any monitor, becomes a considered composition of timber and radially brushed metal. The circular disc articulation allows the screen to pivot between landscape and portrait without additional hardware, adapting to the task rather than dictating it. Every decision was made with the same question in mind: does this make the room better or worse?
Home is not a product proposal. It is a point of view. One that we bring to every brief we take on, whether the object in question is a kitchen tool, a consumer electronic or a wellness device. The conviction that the spaces people live and work in deserve objects that are genuinely worth being there is not a nice-to-have. It is the starting point.
