[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jonghwa] The number of people working from home surpassed 500,000 last year due to the spread of COVID-19. With the recent extension of social distancing level 4, the number of telecommuters working from home is expected to increase further.

As all work is being done at home, telecommuters' interest in products that help improve work concentration and efficiency while enhancing the home atmosphere is growing day by day. In response, the industry has started promoting items that transform interior spaces into personal offices, from tables to accessories.

Multipurpose Folding Table, Sangdo Furniture 'Bromolding'

Recently, among office workers, the demand for home office furniture such as single-person computer desks and simple tables has increased, drawing attention to Sangdo Furniture's multipurpose folding table 'Bromolding.'

The Bromolding folding tabletop can be unfolded only when working from home and folded away for storage, making it a popular product among telecommuters who find it burdensome to purchase a separate desk. Additionally, it is made of high-density plastic material that resists cracking, breaking, and warping, and its waterproof surface is embossed to prevent slipping, allowing for stable use.

Due to these features, it is useful not only for telecommuting but also for indoor activities such as home camping and first birthday parties. Its portability also makes it suitable for outdoor use during vacation camping and car camping. Meanwhile, Sangdo Furniture is currently running an event on its official mall offering up to 47% discount on Bromolding products.
