Here’s an example of a designer simply repurposing two existing objects to find market success in a burgeoning product category. A firm calling themselves Intension Design* took a tripod and a 12″ x 16″ board, worked out a connector and branded it the Tripod Standing Desk.

I don’t have actual sales data, but was surprised to see the object getting numerous press accolades. The object is billed as an ideal portable work-anywhere desk due to its small breakdown size, low weight (4.5 lbs) and height adjustability.
In addition to the $200 model shown above, they also offer the $380 Tripod Standing Desk Pro, which features a more robust tripod and a larger 16″ x 28″ worksurface. The tradeoff is greater weight (13 lbs).

For those using the object as a more permanent desk, a host of accessories are also offered.
*Biography-less companies like this have become frustratingly common. I was not able to find any information on the company nor the designer(s) associated with it. Further confusing matters, Intension Design is also the name of a design-build firm, and both are based in Southern California, though they do not appear to be affiliated.
