The conceptual 'Ascend' desk has been designed by Dan Devine as an option for cat owners to integrate into their living space to allow their furry friend to lounge, sleep and play around them as they work. The desk features a modern design that offers ample space to work, while the integrated seating area on the top offers the perfect spot for them to rest as you maintain optimal productivity. The legs of the unit are designed with 30 degree ramps that allow for the cat to walk up and down onto the desk at their leisure.
The 'Ascend' desk is also focused on being easily manufactured and can be made by hand or through CNC.
