If my morning coffee routine ever stops giving me the energy boost I need to get work done fast, it looks like simply sitting in the vicinity of this office desk will accelerate my work flow to the speed of light…which is not surprising when considering the fact that it was inspired by space shuttles.

This uniquely shaped office desk comes from designer Martin Holzapfel and is called the Bureau.

The design is a combination of two functions: a desk and a shelf, both of which can be moved around and positioned freely to fit the space in your home office, making it a great option for those with limited space or those looking for a flexible corner desk.

The shelves give the user the option to store things out of plain view and are large enough to fit your laptop, office supplies, or books.

Next up in my office desk series is the MILK desk by designer Soren Kjaer. The desk aspires to appear smart but not overly sophisticated, to unite simple form with practical function, and is truly one of the more visually appealing computer desks I have come across.

Aside from making your Mac look even more pretty, the MILK desk features a built in fish tank, garbage bin, pen holder, file cabinets, height adjuster, cable drawer, and an iPod storage box. It measures 55.12′ by 31.49′ and comes in a white high gloss lacquer with a massive aluminium or chrome foot.

You can buy the MILK desk HERE.

Having recently moved into a new home, I have been particularly delighted about the fact that the room I now have for my home office is considerably larger than the one at my former residence. Consequently I have realized that I am in need of some new office furniture, particularly a new desk.

So for fun I thought I would spend the next few weeks researching and posting about fun and unique office desks, and perhaps in the end let you readers decide which one I should buy.

To start things off, here is a great looking computer desk which I simply couldn’t resist posting about despite the fact that it doesn’t quite match the criteria of what I am actually looking to buy.

The OneLessDesk by Heckler Design was made with the idea that we no longer need a large desk to clutter with stacks of paper and various electronics, but rather that “Today, your entire computer is an inch thick and your printer is in your closet connected to your WiFi.”

While I personally still need a full size desk to do my work, I definitely wouldn’t mind having one of these around for casual computer use.

You can get the OneLessDesk in glossy white, silver/grey, and stainless steel for $649 through the Heckler Design website.

The Puzzle Table is a creation from designer Hsien Chang, who took the concept of sliding puzzles, and applied it to your everyday computer desk so that users can see what is stored within the desk by a simple slide of its dividers. Each of the baskets inside each grid are removable allowing the user to sort and organize the contained items easily.

If you are interested in having a place in your home to get some work done but are short on space, then check out this Convertible Compact Desk ($500) from Crate & Barrel.

What appears to be a 30-inch cabinet can easily be converted into a 55-inch full-size desk with a quick slide of its top panel.

It comes in a deep ebony stain finish, and features generous storage space, cubbies with removable dividers, ball-bearing drawer glides, and cord management cutouts.

Did you get a big raise recently, along with a new bigger office? Then perhaps you are on the market for a new office desk that will properly exemplify your new elevated status in the company. Well if if your raise involves a new sign on your office that reads CEO then I may have found your what you’re looking for.

The Executive Desk is a fully functional visual and kinetic desk by artist Dale Mathis that is perfect for the man who needs to see the bigger picture of how things work, and who doesn’t mind spending a measly $21,000. Aside from the fancy woodwork and intricate moving gears, the desk also features trays for your keyboard and mouse, which in my opinion in simply not incorporated into enough desk designs.
