As population density increases in urban centers, the demand for space-saving furniture also skyrockets as people grapple with smaller dwellings—for those who work from home and need a reliable working station, a foldable desk may be a game-changer. While there are a few options on the market for foldable desks, designers do experiment with the aesthetic and functionality of their offerings. The Clamshell Desk by Friday Furniture is a good example.
When folded into the wall, the Clamshell Desk sits at just 6.6 inches out. The space-saving solution is pretty generous in size when opened—the foldable desk can accommodate "a monitor, peripherals, speakers, stationery, and some more." Friday Furniture also included a built-in webcam, as well as a LED strip ring to better the ambiance.
