DMK Third Space Keycaps

Design inspiration

In the 1970s, the American sociologist Ray Oldenburg proposed the concept of "third space" from the perspective of urban and social research. He calls the place of residence the "first space", the place where he spends a lot of time working is called the "second space", and the "third space" is the informal public gathering place outside the place of residence and work, and the concept of the "third space" emphasizes the social role of the place, such as cafes, tea houses, bars, community centers, and so on.

Today we bring you this set of blue-based design "third space". The main color is blue with two different saturations, representing another space outside of work and life. It's also real, right all around us.

It's a VR game-themed design. The birth of VR games makes us feel the immersive game experience, as if entering another world.

World of Warcraft used to be my third space besides work and life. On the continent of Azeroth, I have a group of friends and comrades who have never met. We chatted together, play through quests together , and did tasks together. As if this were another world. In reality they may be all over the world, but on the road to Azeroth, they are right next to me.
