You can break the world of workstations down into specific types, from study carrels and escritoires to keyboard-accommodating [computer desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corsair-platform4-desk) and drafting tables. This concept for X-Y-Z Office Furniture attempts to reach out to all different kinds of professionals by providing a [customizable experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expand-furniture) that can be suited to a slew of different duties.

It looks as though Seyit Ali Guzel and Kaan Aser have created an [object that expands from flat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-transformer-table). Slender angular footings offset the heaviness of the table's thickly angled underside. A long but shallow recessed drawer provides ample storage space for drawing and writing materials and thinner electronics while a smooth surface along the front functions as a keyboard tray. Finally, X-Y-Z Office Furniture features a flexible panel of light that moves 180 degrees around the tabletop and beyond.
