This hybrid furniture piece is both a standing and sitting desk due to its shelf table feature. Ideal for busy designers, crammed spaces, families and people in wheelchairs, the Shelf of Tables is also a bookshelf. The minimalist yet multifunctional design comes from Matej Chebara, a recent graduate of the Royal College of Art.
The piece of furniture has three shelf tables that fit inside an adjustable unit, providing you with multilayers of desktop space. This makes it a breeze to alternate between different projects without taking up too much table room, while staying organized at the same time. Its solid ash construction makes it durable while also offering a pleasant texture. The cleverly weighted piece also has ball bearings that allow the shelf table to be pulled out without toppling the whole thing over.
