"As laptops and smartphones have permeated our work lives, more people are working untethered: at home, on the go, even varying their locations within the workspace. Every day, I see people running from one meeting room to another, then catching up on email at a convenient touchdown space," said BagPed inventor Scott Sikkema. "I wanted a stylish yet functional piece of furniture to stow your bag while making it easy to access its contents."

The BagPed line is an innovative design response to the changing work styles of white-collar workers. Sikkema continued, "People's first response when they see a BagPed is, 'I love it! It's perfect – and I didn't even know I needed it!'"

The modern, minimalist designs provide a range of materials and colors, making them suitable for a variety of interiors. All BagPeds can hold up to a 17" laptop case.
