The conceptual 'Nook' desk has been designed by Deniz Aktay as a furniture solution for the home or office to provide a professional with an organized spot to get work done.
The workstation is achieved using a single piece of plywood for the main frame along with additional layers to incorporate a series of storage nooks in the corners of the base. This helps to create ample area for storing essentials without increasing the bulkiness of the furniture piece.
The conceptual 'Nook' desk is imagined as the next-generation of work-from-home furniture as professionals are expected to continue working remotely in the post-pandemic world. The desk supports a need for minimalism within the home to effectively but calmly support the needs of inhabitants.
