# Multifaceted Leaning Workstations The 'BEA' Workspace Desk Sits on Two Legs for Maximum Efficiency By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-09-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workspace-desk References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2016/09/27/a-wee-workspace/) The 'BEA' workspace desk helps to strip down the classic desk design to its most rudimentary aesthetics in order to help increase efficiency and style. Designed by [MONO SOLO Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platane-collection), the 'BEA' desk features [minimal material usage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/single-desk) that sees two of the four legs traditionally observed on a workstation removed. The desk leans against a wall for additional support to help push for maximum efficiency. A [cord management system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hexcal) is built-in to the 'BEA' desk to ensure technology is accommodated with the futuristic design. A built-in desk lamp that offers 360-degree swiveling action ensures that proper illumination is always a priority on the 'BEA' workspace desk. The 'BEA' desk helps to envision what's possible in order to create a functional workstation without the need for additional materials or extra space. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Minimalistic Workspace Design:** The 'BEA' desk demonstrates the trend towards stripping down desk designs to their most rudimentary aesthetics for increased efficiency. - **Lean Against Wall Support:** The use of a wall for additional support on the 'BEA' desk aligns with the trend towards maximizing efficiency in workspace layouts. - **Integrated Cord Management System:** The built-in cord management system on the 'BEA' desk showcases the growing trend of incorporating technology-friendly features in workspace furniture. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture Manufacturing:** The minimalist design of the 'BEA' desk presents disruptive innovation opportunities for furniture manufacturers to create efficient and stylish workstations. - **Interior Design:** The trend towards lean against wall support on workstations provides opportunities for interior designers to create space-saving and functional work environments. - **Lighting Technology:** The inclusion of a 360-degree swiveling desk lamp on the 'BEA' desk highlights potential innovation avenues for lighting technology companies to integrate illumination solutions into workspace furniture. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vertical Home Office Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-leandesk.md) - [Minimalist Clutter-Free Desk Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parallel-work-table.md) - [Minimalist Storage-Paired Workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diag-desk.md) - [Fold-Down Workstation Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workspace-furniture-solution.md) - [Elegant Working Desk Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindset-builtin-computer-desk.md) - [Minimalist Modular Creative Workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/note-desk.md) - [Sleek Storage-Packed Workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threesix-desk.md) - [Multifunctional Standing Work Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boundary-desk-1.md) - [Minimalist Modular Desk Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/console-desk.md)
