Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Half Pipe Desk is Inspired by Youthful Jaunts in the Skate Park

— April 23, 2013 — Art & Design
Eric Pfeiffer of Pfeiffer Lab designed the Half Pipe Desk based on the inspiration from some of his fondest memories skateboarding as a child.

Designed to look like a half pipe skating ramp, the plywood tabletop is curved up at the edges for a creatively modern look that is also functional. No pens or pencils will roll off the sides of this desk, while a small shelf and storage unit allows for organization of documents and different office supplies. The compact design is a good fit for smaller spaces, working well in an office cubicle as well as a child's bedroom.

Infuse youthful playfulness into the workspace with the Half Pipe Desk from Pfeiffer Lab.
