A new modular working desk attempts to streamline productivity while minimizing distractions—whether it is at home or at the office. Dubbed the Tabs desk, the modern furniture piece is designed by Pelin Özbalcı and meant " for those who easily get distracted from their work."
The key feature of the modular working desk is a series of three 'tabs' that can be moved around on the periphery of the desk. Each tab is made out of a different material—one is fabric, the second features felt, and the third boasts cork. The system, as the name might already suggest, is reminiscent of "Windows tabs on our laptops and computer," except in analog form. Installed on a double rail system, individuals can attach different documents to each tab.
