Desk Design – Cocoon Desk Allows you to Focus on Real Work!

Max — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 09:16:43 +0000

I’ve always preferred open desks over cubicles whether that be for work or for home but this Cocoon Desk might just change my mind about that as its “cocoon”-like design helps you focus on real work instead of being distracted with other things in your (work) room.

Well, I know they have something similar to this over in South Korea, where they have “study” libraries. These are not really libraries but a rent-able space for students who want to focus on study. They have similar desks like this except not as well designed. For one, these might sell like hotcakes in Korea if they went into production.

Design by GamFratesi

The idea behind Rewrite began as a study of the desktop and especially an atmosphere and feeling we believe is needed even in the middle of an accelerating communication and technology. Rewrite is thought of as a kind of isolating working bubble, that can work as a satellite desk anywhere one can feel the need of concentration and shielding – in open space offices, public spaces or at home. With its rounded shape it can be placed freely as dots in a room. A private base in the group without being a denial of it, but an addition to it causing an alternative.

Star Wars Bookends

brian yalung — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 06:30:47 +0000

For teens, kids and kids at heart who are agog over the Star Wars Saga, here is something simple yet useful to have. Books are sure to be stacked up somewhere and rather than leave them leaning and project such a messy table, here are some catchy designed bookends that should be interesting to have.

When set together, the pieces depict the famous garbage compactor scene from A New Hope. However, turn them around and the gang is struggling to keep your books or DVDs from toppling over. These Star Wars Bookends are said to be coming out by April next year and will cost $190.

Qdesk for Kids

brian yalung — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 01:31:33 +0000

For a child to hit the books, the proper place and the proper paraphernalia is a normal need. While we know that they are accustomed to desks in school, perhaps getting one of these in the modern home can somewhat encourage them to be more studious.

Now this was reportedly directed at schools and educational groups. But if you can get a hold of a couple of them for home use then why not? There are kids who are not keen on study tables for doing their homework and perhaps this could aid them better.

Qdesk is very durable and easy to maintain, the custom tops will also increase the durability and overall life span of this product; they can be easily installed onto the Qdesk by anyone at anytime creating a “like new” look and feel all the time. These new tops will be available starting in 2010.

The Perfekt Desk

brian yalung — Sat, 16 May 2009 21:06:07 +0000

Work into the future-like image with the Perfekt Desk. The desk comes with the futuristic look and adds some LED lights to illuminate your work place similar to workstations we see in the movies like Star Trek and Terminator.

This Perfekt Desk, an entry in the Emotionalize Your Light competition, is pretty awesome. Loaded up with LED lights, it looks like something out of a spaceship rather than something you’ll sit at while playing World of Warcraft.

Though a concept to date, it sure carries one hell of a design and modern look that we may yet see in homes and offices soon!

Quaderna Console Table and Shower

brian yalung — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 06:27:56 +0000

Modern furniture creations we see today are not only trying to adapt to the limited spaces, they are trying to be multi-functional as well. Just take a look at this Quaderna Console Table. Superstudio’s famous Quaderna tables are still in production by the Italian company Zanotta.

At the Milan Furniture fair, Zanotta’s Trans-Forma exhibition, under the direction of Fabrica, showcased a unique creation – an iconic 1970 Quaderna console table transformed into a Dining Table Doccia (which means shower in Italian). The minimalist shower was shown to express clever re-imaginings of the company’s classics.

The P.-D.G Desk from Maurice Calka

brian yalung — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 05:17:52 +0000

Modern desks and tables are manufactured here and there and Maurice Calka has this new space age design for you to consider. Designed by the French sculptor and designer in 1969 for Leleu-Deshays LDD, the desk is made of fiberglass and includes an integral adjustable upholstered swivel chair.

The iconic chair is now up for grabs at Sotheby’s Fine 20th Century Design sale. They say that only four or five P.-D.G desks were made and the one listed at the auction site is a previously unknown example. Targeted at senior management (P.-D.G stand for Président Directeur Générale), the desk was also available with optional integral circuitry for telephone, intercom and television monitor.

It’s the rarity of the chair that makes it the highlight of Sotheby’s Fine 20th Century Design sale. The P.-D.G desk is estimated to sell for between £60,000 and £90,000 (nearly $87,000 and $131,000).

An Electrified Blue Table Full of Plug-ins

brian yalung — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 05:51:07 +0000

We often find the need for outlets or cord extensions to address the electricity requirements of our devices and gadgets. This table may be able to resolve all that. It was really mean to serve as an easy association on what the table really is. Designed by Matthew Warren and Scott Behr of Total Metal Resource, Inc. (TMRnyc), the Electrified Blue Table aims to provide a neat solution for the range of plugs necessary to power the gadgets we use on a daily basis, including laptops, hard drives, cellphones, music players or guitar amps.

The table has plugs on its sides and on the feet. The main aim behind designing this table was electrifying the furniture, so that it becomes truly functional and not just pretty. When we talk of design, it’s just plain. The electrified table is a steel frame, which is lacquered with a light blue graffiti-like spray paint. As they have said, I don’t think this table would be fun, but yes, it’s highly functional.

This table is a direct answer to Behr’s goal of making furniture a part of our environment that interface with technology and the devices that we interact with on a daily basis. The Electrified Blue Table is simply great on concept and I think it makes for a great DIY project. It is scheduled to appear at BKLYN DESIGNS in less than a month.

Lilipad Studio Butterfly Rhapsody Table and Chair

brian yalung — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 17:40:57 +0000

Playtime is always a must for kids and the best we can do as parents is to try and make their surroundings eco-friendly and healthy. Though we may not be able to provide them a 100% eco-friendly environment, we can always start with the things they play with and where they may be.

And apparently among them include that of these Lilipad Studio Butterfly Rhapsody Table and Chair sets. Most of the time, kids want to play or perhaps scribble some things while in a position that is entirely comfortable and suitable for them. The Lilipad Studio Butterfly Rhapsody Table and Chair fits perfectly and can be a great furniture addition to their room or anywhere inside the home where they frequently are.

The children’s table and chair set is built in Idaho with eco-friendly wood products. Then it’s hand-painted with non-toxic, no-voc paints. Afterwards, the table and chair are hand-stamped “creating a surreal palette of color – dandelion yellows and Caribbean greens – that weaves dreams of warm summer afternoons and awakens butterfly fantasies.”

Stand-up Desks Can Be Better Options for Home Workers

brian yalung — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 10:59:27 +0000

The growing number of work from home individuals has made some people invest on a couple of office furniture such as office tables and office chairs. Though it may seem you would be sitting all the time, here is a good concept for people who want to move a bit, especially for the people who spend a lot of time in front of the computer.

The Stand-up desk can be a good alternative for people who want to type while standing or sitting. All it takes is some adjustment, particularly on the keyboard or mouse position interface tools. With the right flexibility, you can avoid the problems that may suffice as far as your joints and bones are concerned due to a long and wary position that can really be strenuous.

“To go from sitting to standing, simply slide the keyboarding surface out, and reposition it in the standing position. This takes about 15 seconds, and requires no tools. A wireless keyboard and mouse make moving the keyboarding surface between sitting and standing desk positions quick & easy.”

New Furniture for the New First Family

brian yalung — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 21:59:14 +0000

Whatever happens in the elections, rest assured there will be some furniture shopping made especially if the new first family does not feel comfortable with what they see in the White House. This may sound petty but based on trends from previous Presidents, a change in furnishings has been a common practice.

Normally, you would think that that White House would be full of white painted and expensive furniture. But depending on appeal you can expect something new in the White House once the new president (Obama or McCain), is sworn in to take office.

“People buy furniture that appeals to them first, and, when they find there is a story that goes along with it, that’s a bonus,” Smith said. “So we do adaptations that make the piece relevant to the marketplace and also have some history. People think that’s terrific.”

Plotting Satellite Food Locations at Home

brian yalung — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 06:30:17 +0000

When we are hungry or may want to grab a drink, chances are you have to run down to the kitchen to get it. But thanks to innovative designs, you don’t need to do that anymore. Most people these days create satellite locations in their home, making it ideal to grab any food or drink in places where they frequent or are held up most of the time.

Among the places include:

The Den
Bedroom
Library
Living Room

So if you have the time to effectively place a satellite for your personal needs, spare a space where you can store some food and snacks. You just never know when you may become hungry.

“Today’s home design is about living comfortably in every room,” remarks Jennifer Uihlein, president of U-Line Corporation, manufacturer of premium built-in, undercounter appliances for ice making, refrigeration and wine preservation. “Adding appliances in areas of the home used for entertaining or enjoying family time provide the convenience of having what you need where and when you need it.”

Icon Designs from Eileen Gray

brian yalung — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 15:00:21 +0000

Eileen Gray is a known name in the furniture design business. She has given a new meaning towards conceptualization and design and a lot of it were introduced in the market in the 1900’s. During these times, modern furniture designs were conceived as mechanical and were it not for the vested interest of one Andre Putman, perhaps none of us would see the contemporary designs that are sure hits today.

The appreciation of Gray’s performance back then were perhaps not seen as the tomorrow of modern design. Today however, we can see similarities of her concepts and then some, which are surely ideal stuff that anyone would want in their homes today.

She designed a new range of furniture for the home and in line with the Bauhaus and Modernists’ philosophies, moved away from creating exclusive, one-off pieces, instead preferring to create furniture that was simple, refined and functional and that allowed for mass production.

One small table in particular, called the E-1027, is one of Gray’s most recognised pieces. Also the name Gray gave to her San Tropez house, the E-1027 was small, round and amazingly versatile and, today is considered one of the icons of modern design. She also designed chairs, settees, desks and storage units for her home.

Sadly, her clients initially shunned Gray’s new direction and interest in her work waned. Just before her death, however, Andre Putman, a prominent French designer, revived interest in Gray’s designs and obtained a licence to manufacture several of them. Exhibitions at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York followed.

At a glance, it appears that their “Out-of-Box” workstation incorporates 2 desks, a decent amount of desktop real estate and a ton of storage space into a fairly compact design that can easily be wheeled from one room to another. The design is still very much a work in progress, but the $2350 build price suggests that they will become commercially available.

The all-in-one XYZ computer desk is modern and functional. I wish this type of computer desks are supported by computer manufacturers.

The XYZ Computer Desk, as they say, has been designed as beautiful as a Mac, but is easily upgradeable like a PC. All computer components and cable management is contained within the thickness of the desk, and when upgrading is required, the desk lid simply flips open. The CDRW/DVD, USB and Hot Keys are located on the side of the desk.
