The Hinge Workstation can be folded to such a compact state that it would almost pass for a briefcase. Almost, because it would probably be a pretty heavy thing to lug around. Nonetheless, the design, from the Knot Design company, is brilliantly compactable.
Ingenious hinges (hence the "Hinge" Workstation) allow the desk/lamp/pencil holder/shelves to be minimized into a slim box. The inclusion of the extras (listed above) make it even more functional than a boring old non-compact desk.
