Tech Desk Of The Future?

Looks like what would happen the first time a woodshop student tried to make a flat table.
 
What a crappy desk. Can't even adjust the angle of the keyboard for proper typing posture...
 
Coffee? You pour the coffee in one of the crevices and use a spoon. Or a straw. Or put some cereal in there and spoon it.
 
I think I'll stick with my Anthro cart. This thing is 15 years old, built like a tank, and holds a ridiculous amount of crap.
 
This was my first thought as well -- a desk designed for people who never actually do any work on it. Ultimately becoming just another fashion accessory for their home office.

I love my ikea galant custom pieced together as I needed it.

I like to keep it clean and organized but if I'm in the middle of a project there will be papers, parts, boxes, tools all over it. It has to be able to take a spill from water or energy drink every now and then, and of course chocolate.

This desk would be a joke in any serious business. "Why does it look like a retarded 5 year old signed these million dollar contracts?" "oh that's because Cecil has this hipster douchedbag desk that makes him feel important and different"

I like how the USB ports look crooked and cheap -- classy.
 
Eww.

The problem with things like this is that when the devices go through generation changes they may not work with it anymore e.g. the change to lightning connector. Then you would need to buy another goofy looking desk.

Also, it is kind of ugly.
 
It's advertised with Apple products therefore....I love it!
How much? When can I never buy one?
 
You should get a prize if you don't spill a coffee while setting it down. That table looks like shit, like the shit I took this morning, except with an overdose of metamucil and fibrous rope from elementary school gym that cleaned the entire length of my bowels and intestines; shit.
 
What the.......

That thing is a monstrosity. I would literally chop that thing up in front of the person who made it and start a fire with it. Poor tree....what a waste.
 
Gahhhhh... It is called inductive power and bluetooth or wifi. I wish tablets and phones would ditch USB all together. I hate having wires and shit on my desk as it is. Integrate into the desk does not solve any of those problems.

later..
 
Oh yeah.. another completely useless desk.

While we are at it, let's stuff a laptop in a drawer where it will get absolutely no airflow.

Who cares if it fries in a couple hours. The people who buy the thing will have no clue why their expensive Apple device keeps frying.
 
Looks cool. It's a semi-practical work of art, rather than an utilitarian design.
It'll sell like hot cakes for the intended market for massive amounts of money.
 
I like it.

I would still like the main armrest keyboard mouse speakers monitor area to be flat. But for the less used parts, i would like more randomness.

Looks like it would be fun to build.
 
I appreciate the workmanship. Finishing those peaks/valleys/corners isn't easy to do if it's one solid block of wood. However, It's not the most useful design out there. I built my desk with integrated cabling, but it's modular so I can adapt it when new/different connectors are required.

****** = any Apple product. It's so fitting that the picture has an iPhone and iPad.
 
Seriously though... this is absolutely terrible. Among the worst ideas for a desk I've ever seen.
 
I can't put my cup of coffee anywhere without balancing it, I can't put any sort of plate or bowl on it without them being crooked, my keyboard and monitor will be a fucked angles, what a piece of crap.

This.

As a piece of "modern art" it's nice, for images on the web or in a museum I love it.

But it's so impractical I alternate between laughing and crying if THAT is what people want...
 
It looks like the whole front half of the desk surface /is/ flat, which is usually where I do all my setting-things-down and writing, so that wouldn't at all be impractical.

The ports on the other hand... what do you do when you get a new iThingy and it's slightly wider or deeper than the iThingy the hole in the desk was cut to fit?

The legs are kind of lame.

The entire front of the desk is flat. It's pretty damn obvious from the pictures... if you looked at them. :rolleyes:

Although I still wouldn't use it. :D
 
Woot, a massively overpriced desk that limits you to proprietary gear and restricts locations you can put things while giving you carpel tunnel from its ergonomically craptastic design. WTF is wrong with an easy to clean multi-purpose flat service with a dock/stand set on it to hold shit up if needed?

More "thinking different" form over function and costs be damned hipster designs... of course its covered in Apple products. *facepalm*

I liked the 'it couldn't be simpler' remark.
Also, the new Iwheel mac would finish the sentence for you. Sync it with google - who want to scan all books available - and voila... professors will have a blast with plagiarized works.
 
I'm wondering if someone made a bet. It would have gone something like this:

Joe: "Apple fanboys are so gullible they'll buy anything."
Tom: "Oh yeah? Prove it."
Joe: "Watch this. I'll design this totally impractical desk and market it with Apple products in the pictures. Someone will buy it."

.... a few weeks pass....

Tom: "Ok, here's your $50.00, and I'll wear the banana costume to work on Friday. Happy?"
