I recently went on a scavenger hunt for a desk for a client. This endeavor got me thinking about desks in general and how the choice of a desk is very personal. Individual people have different needs and, like people, desks come in all manner of shapes and sizes. A desk can be very practical or more streamlined; it all comes down to how the piece will be used. For example, if the desk is in a room custom fitted with plenty of storage, then it can be minimal as opposed to something with a variety of drawers and shelves. Men and women tend to have distinct preferences as well. Here are some of my favorite examples of desks:
1. Ana Casa Interiors: Yves Desk by Baxter
2. Big Boss Desk by Piergil Fourquie
3. Homework Desk from Design Within Reach
4. Lacquered Linen and Brass Desk
5. White and Walnut Desk, cm studio
6. Jobs by Poltrona Frau
7. Aerial Desk, Dering Hall
8. Louxor Desk by Nicolas Aubagnac
9. Antoine Proulx from Dennis Miller Associates
10. Bureau Plat Desk from Mortice & Tenon
