'My Desk' is essentially a giant notepad that doubles as a work desk. The desk was built by Portuguese designer Miguel Mestre, and uses sheets of paper that measure 39.4 x 28 inches. The desk has a wooden top designed to be filled with sheets of paper.
Mestre designed his My Desk to let creatives doodle without fear of running out of space, or ruining a perfectly good desk. Filling up a sheet of 39.4 x 28 inch paper seems like quite the challenge, which could explain why Mestre has made this desk made to order only. While the My Desk may only appeal to hardcore doodlers, it isn't tough to imagine school districts snapping up a smaller version of Mestre's desk as a way of giving young desktop artists a way to express themselves.
