The Tree Branch Work Desk is Ideal for Doing Imaginative Jobs

— October 9, 2012 — Art & Design
For those of us who are lucky enough to be able to count hours on park benches and back porches as productive, imagine rising to new heights in your open office with this Tree Branch Work Desk. Designer Dominic Wilcox conceived this wonderfully whimsical piece of furniture based on his own ability to brainstorm from anywhere.

In case the concept comes across as a little silly to some, consider that this unusual location is sure to offer the thinker a sufficiently fresh perspective. Away from the stuffy and creativity-constraining cubicle, the user of the towering contraption can daydream to his heart's content with some rather compelling results.

While climbing the trunk is a different story, the Tree Branch Work Desk can be assembled with relative ease. The tripod's height can be adjusted so that the two small tabletops on the tip can hold your tea and your drawing utensils within easy reach.
Trend Themes
1. Whimsical Furniture - Designing furniture with a playful aesthetic and unconventional materials can create a unique market niche.

3. Interior Design - Designers can use natural elements and unique materials to create aesthetically pleasing workspaces that inspire and motivate workers.
