Soojin Hyun designed this strange concept called the **[House on the Table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindful-study-space)**. What looks to me like a tree house on [a desk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/single-desk) is a structure conceived as a sort of personal fortress intended to safeguard a person's privacy. The House on the Table comes complete with a [bookshelf](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookmarker-table), a vaulted ceiling, four walls, look-out portals and interior lighting.

From the images, the structure looks bigger than a cubicle from the inside, and it actually seems quite spacious. I think it takes up way too much space though and it is just a crazy idea.
