Summary: | With the great immigration to the urban area, resulting from the Industrial Revolution in the 17th century, the living spaces have been decreasing more and more over the years. Other factors contribute to such data, such as an increase in the general population and a decrease in the number of members within a household. These spaces are often not designed to serve the user as a living and working space. However, with the significant increase in home office work, mainly due to the covid-19 pandemic, many people found themselves in the need to adapt their living space to work and where they find it more difficult. At this point, multifunctional furniture has become an excellent option for users of small spaces and who need more use. The present work used the methodology of Design for Innovation Generation, where the objective was to develop a multipurpose furniture for small environments so that it could be used as a home office. For this, the main needs of users were raised, and after identifying all the requirements, a piece of furniture was proposed, consisting of a panel and a table, which together allow its use as a fully ergonomic workspace.
