Wicker Basket Workstations

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Woven Desk is Plaited for Privacy that Wraps to Your Peripheral Vision

— July 12, 2012 — Art & Design
It can be considered that the worker is occasionally as much to blame as the distraction, should he falter and lose his focus. The Woven Desk is the sort of workstation that would effectively encourage productivity by acting as a shield between the diversion and the easily-distracted person.

Bram Vanderbeke's endearing escritoire functions as a large-scale set of blinders, thanks to a lovely braided alcove constructed of flexible panels. The beautiful barreled shape comes together at two plaited points and conforms to the support of a pair of perpendicular bands.

Painted in white, the Woven Desk's handsome hood is like an adorable oversized basket or the cover of a bassinet. It creates the perfect private study carrel, or equally a charming shady bench.
