Simplistic Hybrid Office Desks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Simple Office Desk by Frans Willigers Uses a Connective Design

— May 30, 2016 — Art & Design
The 'Last Writing Desk' made by Dutch designer Frans Willigers is a simple office desk that has a chair connected to it for a minimalist and continuous look.

As Frans Willigers explains, having a desk with copious room for storage is now unnecessary due to our reliance on technology, as we use our laptops to store everything we need. As most people tend to work on laptops over desktop computers for the sake of convenience, having a designated work space is no longer a reality for many, which is what inspired Frans Willigers to create a simple office desk that works with an open concept environment and allows you to move freely. The thin surfaces of the table top and bench-like seating is supported by stainless steel legs, making it lightweight and easy to move around.

The 'Last Writing Desk' is great for at home use or for public spaces, as its inviting and simplistic design makes it fit seamlessly into its environment for whatever purpose you need.
