Jotting notes on your desk isn't common practice, but the 'WriteyDesk' dry erase working desks aim to change this perception with a design that is intended to be written and scribbled on.

Featuring a [simple aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/single-desk), the 'WriteyDesk' enables users to write down notes without having to search for a piece of paper and a pen to keep their workspace clear of clutter. This also eliminates the need for paper in the first place to keep paperless offices truly paper-free.

The 'WriteyDesk' dry erase working desks are capable of being used with [dry erase markers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenith7-desk-pen) or even liquid chalk markers to make notes as semi-permanent as required. The 'WriteyDesk' is ideal for [modern workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spout), but also works as a great way to let kids express their creativity without having them ruin the furniture.
