Just one comment – how on earth does that iMac work without a power cable? There isnt a power source in sight anywhere in those pics.

My daughter would probably love this. My issue would be obstructed lighting and…is it plastic???

Cringe…I live in earthquake country. We don’t work/live with heavy (potentially) falling objects directly overhead.

Although this seems really cool and seductively simple I get a headache thinking how one would install this. It would take at least two if not three people, and shipping would be a nightmare.

Looks nice but, besides all the objections noted above, whoever designed this obviously doesn’t live in earthquake territory.

I am attracted to the idea of this, but as many others have said, I need more desk space for phone, lamp, pen and paper.

And I’m someone whose job is almost entirely paperless. I work almost exclusively with electronic documents and online.

I’d be the most ideal candidate for a set up like this, but it’s just a tad bit too minimalist, even for me.

Also, the website resizes your browser, so beware. And it’s full of design/marketing BS.

I have to agree with the people saying it looks impractical. Also, the website is one of those awful Flash nightmares that you can’t navigate, see the products on, or direct link to.

Now I’m all for clean workspaces, but a couple questions…
This is a good example of impractical workspace, TOO uncluttered maybe?
And also, when there are featured workpsaces, does anyone ever NOT work from home, and have a clean workspace? I feel like the only ones ever featured are home offices.

This desk design is totally impractical for any business setting. Or home office. Or bedroom study. It looks like a senior thesis project, and not something that has any real world application. It’s clean, simple, and totally useless for anyone who needs to work.

I guess I would need to mount it to the other wall, since I am left handed.

And never use a mouse. Or phone. Or pen, book, printer, drink coffee. Is there a hard hat to match the furniture, since every time I stand up, I would be whacking my head on the shelf?

Beautiful design is only useful if it can also be functional.

This looks like it would need some pretty heavy-duty hardware to attach it to the wall. Not landlord-friendly.
