Inspired by his enjoyment of letter writing, designer Michael Young created this charming writing desk which offers a modern reinterpretation of the traditional writing bureau.  Designed on behalf of Established & Sons, the writing desk stands on two distinctive A-frame legs and is constructed from wood conglomerate, steel tubing, and refined Corian.

The desk features an integrated drawer, an optional Corian inlay, and a concealed light hidden underneath the built-in hood which supports the specific function of the desk to provide a personal and private work space.

For those of you stuck reminiscing about your glory days in college and wishing you were still there, the Paul desk looks like a solid piece of furniture that should help you regain some alcohol infused memories. 

Made by Wintercheck Factory, the Paul desk features removable legs and side boxes that allow you to store your junk either in plain view or hidden away.  It also features the all too necessary desktop cutout for cord management, and comes in cherry, green, blue, or walnut stained birch.

The Table 180 is a multipurpose table designed by Emili Manrique Diaz that should help you maintain a clutter free task area.  While at first glance it appears as just another ordinary table, a simple flip of the top panels reveals several hidden compartments perfect for storing your work stuff.  Sadly its just a concept for now.

From the international leader of ergonomic chair design Herman Miller comes a new family of multipurpose office chairs dubbed the Setu Chairs.  The new line was designed by Studio 7.5 of Berlin (who also designed Herman Millers Mirra work chair back in 2003), and will initially include the Setu 5-star, 4-star, butterfly, butterfly stool, and a lounge and ottoman.

The N@t netbook-lounge armchair is a clever chair concept designed for Rossin by German designer Martin Ballendat. The design of the chair aims to capture the emerging popularity of the netbook, a “trendy laptop in small format for the contemporary communication – private and on the way“.

Regardless of whether you use the chairs working surface for a netbook or an ordinary (and apparently outdated) laptop, the N@t armchair’s organic seat shell makes it a friendly eye catcher for any environment.
