Hasta La Ideas

These Syncline Folding Desks, created for flexible workspaces and schools, are by Australia-based Sylex Ergonomics.

They’re up on lockable casters, and a locking dial beneath the worksurface allows the tabletops to tilt.

With the tabletops tilted, they can be nested for storage.

I wondered what that perforated black panel is for; the company explains it’s a “modesty panel” (e.g. if the sitter is wearing a short skirt).

A mechanism beneath the desk allows you to link multiple units together, either side-by-side or at a right angle.

Shown above is the 1500mm (about 5′) wide unit, which seats two side-by-side. There’s also a 750mm (about 30″) wide model, below, that seats one.

I tried to find the designer(s) or design firm responsible, but the company apparently does their stuff in-house.
