One Less Desk

When design is good-looking, it’s certainly interesting. But when design takes in account the changing needs of humans and our constantly-morphing world, then design becomes inspiring.

Take Heckler Design’s One Less Desk:

When computers first became accessible to homeowners and home offices first began popping up, it was a neccessity to have a desk large enough to accomodate huge monitors and hard drives, giant printers and scanners, fax machines, home phones and all the other clunky electronic equipment you can think of.

And, while desks have certainly taken on all sorts of shapes and sizes and styles in recent years, Heckler’s One Less Desk is the first one we’ve seen that actually acknowledges the amazing strides in technology we’ve made.

We no longer have giant moniters or hard drives. Our Ipods and Iphones do most everything we need and our printers and fax machines are hidden somewhere else in the house connected with wireless magic. We simply don’t need giant bulky desks any more!

More than just making a thinner desk, the One Less Desk really takes in account heating and ventilation issues for electronics as well as the mass of wires that inevitably accompany a home office.

At $649 it’s a bit pricey, but as Heckler says on their site: it’s the last desk you’ll ever own.
