Transforming Hybrid Furniture

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Convertible Compact Desk Creates More Space Homes & Offices

— July 17, 2013 — Unique
Combine practicality and style with the Convertible Compact Desk.

This desk is extremely functional; it serves as two pieces of furniture in one. Starting as a 55-inch desk, it can be transformed into a three drawer, 30-inch cabinet. The cabinet layout allows for extra space on the surface for pictures or things you want to display. If you have this desk in your office as a desk or cabinet, the spacious bottom drawer is perfect for file storage.

If using this piece of furniture solely as a desk, its design can help you eliminate clutter. The workspace can fit a laptop and paperwork comfortably, and the top drawer is made up of compartments to keep your office essentials organized and easily accessible. After all, there is nothing more frustrating at work than trying to find something in a mess of supplies.

Sold at Crate & Barrel, this office essential comes in dark ebony, giving it a sleek and stylish appeal.
