The keyboard with a plate "My Soft Office " produced by Dutch designer Hella Jongerius in 2000 is now a hot topic in some media in the United States.

"My Soft Office" was created by Jongerius at the request of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. It was introduced in the exhibition hall "Workspheres" of the museum.


The request from MoMA was "I want you to make office furniture and office supplies that express the future workplace." In response to this request, Jongerius designed this keyboard as an office product that expresses the "fusion of work and life" in the future society.

The US media Incredible Things described the keyboard as follows:


"This design allows users to eat and type at the same time. You may be wondering how to keep it clean, but you can wash the keyboard in the dishwasher."


That's Nerdalicious !, a gourmet site for geeks, says the keyboard is the best invention for geeks, but it's now obsolete.


"I wouldn't be so happy if you really sell it, but version 2.0 of this keyboard should also have the ability to use your tablet as a plate."


My Soft Office is also featured in 9GAG and others.


My Soft Office is still in MoMA, but it's not on display now.
