Incubator workstation assumes all humans are hatched the same
Looking suspiciously similar to that Cave bookcase we checked out a while back, this design for a modular workstation called The Incubator received 1st honorable mention for Honfray Lui at the 2008 International Designer's Workstation Competition. Taking inspiration from those rolling bookcases you see in large archives, The Incubator has been designed in a way that lets you move groups of pods around into different configurations based on work requirements.
My main concern is that it looks a bit too much like a one size fits all solution, and we all know that at least here in America, we come in a pretty wide range of heights and widths.

Why does the design community continue to celebrate the creation of aesthetically pointless crap? Has anyone ever tried sitting in a seat with a completely vertical back? Where does the coffee go? Where is the phone? If I need to write something down on a piece of paper, where do I do that?
How does something like this even get an honorable mention? Do people that design workstations ever actually sit at them?
This is 30 seconds of my life that I will never get back. Looks real neat and pretty, though. Thx.

What, no arm rests or side safety rails? I like to sleep in my cubicle and I would fall out of that one on a daily basis.
