Hasta La Ideas

Desks are the most integral part of any office – whether corporate or modern. And I do spend most of my day on it! Either I’m working away, or watching some Netflix in my free time. Hence, having a great desk is essential! Simply a ‘good’ desk won’t do either. A great desk helps us work comfortably and effectively. It puts us in the right mindset, helping us achieve our daily productivity goals and checkmark all the tasks on our to-do list! Not only should our desks be clean, but they should also sport an ergonomic and functional design! And if a desk has some storage space as well, it checks all the boxes for us. And, we’ve curated a collection of innovative, highly functional, and aesthetically pleasing desk designs, that will end your hunt for a great desk once and for all!

1. Diag Desk

Named the Diag Desk, this modern minimalist desk is designed to optimize desk space while integrating storage elements like removable leather compartments. The Diag Desk is an example of how a simple desk can provide a lot of practicality while maintaining a subtle and stripped-down design.

Why is it noteworthy?

Since the desk is minimalist, a lot of space is given to the desk’s tabletop, and it integrates storage systems that ensure the users have a lot of desk space while keeping the essential stationery designs within reach.

• Not much to differentiate the desk from other desks on the market in terms of aesthetics

2. Hideaway Swing Desk

Called the Hideaway Swing Desk, this desk doubles up as a sleek and sophisticated sideboard. You can transform it from a desk to sideboard, using its different forms for when different needs arise, all you need to do it place it at a different angle. In both states, it is better suited for smaller homes.

In its original state, the Hideaway Swing Desk functions as an excellent sideboard that is perfect for smaller homes. But when you move the furniture piece at a 90-degree angle, it transforms into a functional and sturdy workspace.

What we dislike

3. Three-Six Desk

Designed by Deniz Aktay, this conceptual desk is is both functional and appealing. It is made from walnut desk, but has an intriguing oragne metal inlay surrounding it. But the inlay isn’t only for aesthetic purposes, it lets you place stuff around your desk without them taking up any place on your desk.

Why is it noteworthy?

The front inlay is an element of the drawers, and they are used to open them. The angular sides can accommodate office accessories like scissors, staplers, and pens. The desk can also store your mobile phone, tablet, and other media devices allowing you to easily reach them.

5. Nice Chair

I love the Nice Chair, because it is not simply a chair, it is also a desk that you can rock back and forth! It is designed to occupy minimum space, and it can be easily assembled and disassembled, it also rocks you back and forth, giving a smooth and enjoyable motion to break the lull of a boring workday.

Why is it noteworthy?

The Nice Chair can function as an ordinary chair to sit on, or as a rocker that moves back and forth. The rounded bottom edges of the chair enable it to rock back and forth, creating a mesmerizing lull that can guide anyone to sleep. You can also slide a tabletop between the ridges on the arms of the chair, to convert it into a workspace, that can hold and store your work accessories.

What we like

• Multifunctional furniture design that can switch between two different modes

What we dislike

• There is no way to stop the chair from rocking while working, which can be quite uncomfortable

Offices can be quite overwhelming and stressful, and sometimes you just need to take a break from the office chaos. Called the Buddyhub Desk, this cute-looking desk features rounded edges and gives you some private space in the hectic environment of offices. It is equipped with a sound-absorbing fabric panel that lines its outer edges.

The Italian furniture brand Porro created the Linea collection that was designed by late postmodernist architect and designer Medini a couple of years ago. The collection includes a quirky and colorful writing desk that is ideal for those who need to indulge in some creative writing.

Mendini created the designs by defining them with stunning cellulose acetate surfaces that feature inlays in primary colors. The writing desk is an excellent space to write and get your creative juices flowing.

What we dislike

• The aesthetics may be considered too quirky by some people, and not preferred by everyone, as it may not suit all interior styles

Named Kabinett, this sturdy cabinet works not only as a cabinet but also as a work desk. It was designed by Stockholm-based designer Alexander Lervik and is intended for modern home offices, where its dual functionality lets it serve as an excellent furniture piece for homes and offices.

Called the Pill Writing Desk, this unique and rather unusual-looking desk has a spherical shape that you don’t really see in desks. When closed it is quite eye-catching, and when open it is quite functional. It functions as a furniture design that also looks like a minimalist piece of art.

Why is it noteworthy?

The desk has an innovative circular form that can be wall-mounted, which makes it look like a wall-hung painting rather than a four-legged floor-resting desk. It stands apart from other desks and has a clean contemporary look that can make any room stand out.

What we like

If you hear Eleven you either think of the number or the popular fictional character from a TV series, and now Eleven is also a special desk that makes your work-from-home routine more fun and productive. It is a unique desk that amps your productivity and makes storage also a breeze.

The desk has ample space for everything you need for work. It can hold your laptop, monitor, mouse, and keyboard. There is lots of space for your books, documents, pens, and a mug. There are also hooks beneath the table to hang your bag, headphones, and an additional level for other stuff.
