Clean, contemporary and airy, the Din Desk is the perfect piece of furniture for almost any home office. Not only does it provide amble surface to get work done on, it also incorporates a shelving unit that focuses as much on form as it does on function. As though it were a wireframe design, the Din Desk shelving is made out of thin metal rods.
Designed by Gompf and Kehrer, a studio based in Karlsruhe, Germany, the Din Desk is also made out of wood. According to the designers, "The DIN desk deals with the question of work-life balance." Since the boundaries between office and home are slowly dissolving thanks to mobile media, people are searching for better ways to bridge the gap without letting work invade their personal life.
