Top 5 Coolest Desks


5. Victorian Steampunk Desk

This is the ‘Victorian Organ Command Desk‘. It’s made from bits and pieces of Victorian detritus that Bruce had collected including the carcass of a 19th century pump organ. It took 6 months to build using four different crafts persons to design the desk, restore and modify the antiques, and later install the computer systems. Included in this all-in-one workstation desk are fully integrated electronics including 3 monitors, computer, printer, scanner and webcam. The horn speakers on either side are installed in cast iron stanchions and modified with modern acoustic suspension drivers.

4. Han Solo Carbonite Desk

Who wouldn’t want a desk with Han Solo encased in carbonite? This desk was designed and assembled by artists Tom Spina and Richard Riley of Tom Spina Designs, a NY-based company specializing in custom sculpture.
3. Chaise Lounger Desk

Teens,like, want to do everything at once, right? Designed for teenagers in a competition, Roberta Ramme’s chaise lounger contains a desk, flat screen and media storage. Their blurb makes it “perfect to watch TV, listen to CDs, read, talk on the phone, take a nap or surf the internet, or even study.” Go figure, like, whatever.
2. Retractable Hooded Desk

Do you live in a crowded house and suffer from lack of privacy while working? Your lucky day today! Sophie Kirkpatrick has the perfect solution for your plight; a desk with a hood! Pull it up when you want to shut out the world and concentrate on the task; pull it down when you are ready to mingle. The Duplex Workspace is a one off prototype but the inventor is looking into developing the concept and is currently on the lookout for the funding and facilities to do so.
1. Corvette Desk

This desk is absolutely beautiful. Hand Built from the back of a wrecked C5 Corvette. The only ugly part of this desk is its tag price of $2590.
