The desk has been designed by the France-based Christophe Gernigon Studio and maintains a folding design that is achieved using solid beech for the base along with slatted oak veneer for the top. The folding design of the desk enables it to be easily positioned behind existing furniture between uses and can immediately transform a [small section of a space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humanscale-float-micro) into an area for productivity. The 'MARCEL' folding desk is priced at €495 and identifies ways in which the modern home can be augmented to work more effectively for professionals who might not have a dedicated home office space.
