The 'PowerNap Desk' has been designed and created by Matt Benedetto of Unnecessary Inventions to provide professionals with a tongue-in-cheek furniture option to incorporate into their home office or perhaps even formal office. The desk consists of a wooden construction that will offer ample space on top for keeping essentials like laptops, smartphones, mouses and more in place. The unit is outfitted with a series of 3D-printed brackets that will allow it to be unlocked and rotated to reveal a bed section on the underside that is perfect for taking a catnap during the workday.
The 'PowerNap Desk' solves the problem of what a worker can do when they feel a bit sleepy throughout the day and, while a humorously designed furniture creation by Benedetto, would likely be appreciated by those who work from home.
