Office Desks: Part 13

This height-adjustable desk called the Signalement Desk ($TBD) was designed by Peter Petersen of Germany. The white computer desk, which is part of the Tank Collection, is made of MDF (medium density fibreboard), and comes with a white high lustre varnish.

If the pictures don’t convince you of the desks’ supposed quality, perhaps this very ambitious description from the Signalement website will…

The height-adjustable desk from the Tank Collection radiates lightness and elegancy just like a ballerina who barely touches the floor. The fineness is emphasized by the urgent smoothness which combined with the sturdy materials add strength and weight. The desk sparkles with energy and provides you with a feeling of design that never ends.

Office Desks: Part 12

Am I the only one who still loves the design qualities of the classic roll top desk?  Just found this one while on my quest for a new office desk.  The All American Cherry Emerson Cylinder Roll Top Desk II (could they have named it something longer?) has one pullout writing surface, one utility drawer, and three drawers behind the rolltop.

The desk is available from  Computer Desks N More for $1049.

Office Desks: Part 8

The Solo Lounge Table from Intelligent Forms may look like an ordinary glass desk, but a closer look reveals a series of solar panels lining the whole tabletop. The solar panels are placed in between tempered glass panels, and provide over 17 kilowatts of solar energy per year(under ideal conditions), which is transmitted via USB, lighter, and standard 3 prong outlets.

The desk is made from formed stainless steel with a brushed finish, polished stainless steel rods, and features a LCD monitor, internal LEDs, Bluetooth transmitter, and a rechargeable battery array.

Oh and I almost forgot…it will cost you about $14,000.

Office Desks: The Puzzle Table

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.
