Bugatti Grand Prix Car Desk
Created by designer Luzzo Bespoke, this desk is an homage to the beautiful Bugatti from the 1930s – in fact, this desk comes in three types (the 35, 57, and 59). Made out of aluminum, Bespoke added a wire mesh façade that resembles the radiators on these beautiful old cars. 1500 hours of work went into each specially designed desk… And the price shows it!

EXODesk

Han? Is That You?
Star Wars fans are going to go crazy over this replica of Han Solo frozen in Carbonite. The idea to make a desk out of this piece of movie history comes from designer Tom Spina, who specializes in creating household objects inspired by films. The sculpture, which is made out of metal, is mounted under a sheet of glass, and the contour of the desk faithfully follows the model used in the George Lucas film.
Curv
The Curv is a very compact desk, composed of only one piece. Its size is based on its designer’s philosophy of adapting normal furniture to the reduced spaces of our modern world. The Curv includes both a desk and similar chair.

The Aviator Wing Desk
Retro design aficionados will love this desk! It comes from a line inspired by wings of old airplanes. Made entirely out of metal, it would go perfectly with a leather armchair to create a very strong, masculine look. Very Howard Hughes.

Strates System
At first glance, the Strates System desk by Mathieu Lehanneur looks very serious and kind of boring. But take a closer look reveals its true genius: the desk is made up of many separated layers, allowing each one to serve as a tidy shelf for all types of documents and other small objects. Say goodbye to ugly drawers, people! The one drawback is that it’s not the most secure system in the world – everything is right out in the open.
Mac Milk
Apple inspire de très nombreux designers, c’est le moins que l’on puisse dire. Ce bureau en est l’exemple parfait : le Mac Milk ne fait pas qu’emprunter le nom de la gamme d’ordinateurs de la marque à la pomme, mais également une partie du design de ces machines. Simple d’apparence, il intègre de nombreuses fonctions comme une colonne centrale ajustable, des bac de rangement parfaitement intégrés ou encore des conduits pour cacher les câbles. La finition est en chrome mais celle en aluminium est également disponible en option.

XYZ Computer Desk
The strongest all-in-one computer we’ve seen, the XYZ Computer Desk is, as its name would imply, both a desk and a computer. The optical scanner and various connection points are situated on the edge of this piece, which leaves only a screen on the actual desktop. To top it off, the desk is designed to let you change it around to fit your preferences. A beautiful central unit.
