Office Desks: Part 3

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.

Office Desks: Part 1

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.

Looking to re-decorate your home office? Check out the Level 34 modular office system designed by Werner Aisslinger for Vitra.

What’s with the 34 you ask? It represents the distance (in centimeters) between the floor and each of the modular components, and is significant because of the visual aspect of having several pieces of furniture connected as one, all at a uniform hight.

The office system allows for multiple desks, filing cabinets, and even an inspirational bench. Moreover, it has cable baskets incorporated into the bench structure which means you can keep all of your electronics connected while keeping any cables hidden
