I’m sure you all still remember the floppy disk right…that old storage device from the 80’s that always had slightly less available storage space then you needed.  Well despite most estimates of it having been permanently retired, the floppy disk has recently made a triumphant return after receiving a slight upgrade.  Thomas O’Connor of Detroit took the infamous piece of square plastic and recycled it into a USB Drive so you could store more than the traditional 1.44mb.  Nice!!

Ok so for most of my office desk series I have shown you guys a bunch of great desks, all of which I really like, but most of which aren’t really all that practical.  So to change things up I wanted to show you this gorgeous black desk which has more of a classic office design feel as opposed to the more modern minimalist designs I have shown you up until now.

The Portofino Decorative Desk is made by Stanley Furniture, and offers an aged appeal with extreme antiquing and the Portofino’s signature rub-thorough finish.  It features a center keyboard drawer, two utility drawers, and one file drawer, and comes in either ivory or basque black.

You can buy the desk at Black Lion Furniture for $1179.
