Wall-Mounted Workstations

The Desk Pad by Eric Degenhardt Stylishly Saves Space

— May 15, 2013 — Art & Design
The Desk Pad is a great alternative to the traditional workstation. With subtle but impactful differences, it will provide a great area to get work done without compromising space or style.

First of all, the Desk Pad mounts on the wall. By doing without legs, it gives the illusion that it is more compact than it really is. In reality, it looks to be the same size as a standard desk. Secondly, the Desk Pad integrates a penholder and bookend right into its design so as to reduce unnecessary clutter. With enough room for a power strip, it will also meet the standards of the modern worker.

Designed by Eric Degenhardt for Böwer, the Desk Pad also boasts an extractable leather pad and storage. Yet its biggest selling point is its clean lines.
