From co-working cubicles to the home office, having a functional desk is key. Here, discover four versatile desk options to fit any workspace.

1

Spout Sit-to-Stand Table

Unlike standard sit–stand desks with two sturdy legs hiding powerful machinery, Herman Miller’s Spout Sit-to-Stand offers a more elevated aesthetic with four slim stems. Plus, with discreet wiring beneath the tabletops and flush to the supports, the sleek — yet still stable — structure can lift up to 181 kilos with barely any noise; it’s also the first product to feature the brand’s new charging technology, Ello Power Access Solutions. It’s available in a range of sizes, colours and finishes — from a walnut veneer top with a black base to a neutral top  with an olive base and more — and can be fitted with bag  hooks, integrated drawers and other accessories.

AB019 Wall Desk

After living and working in a tiny home in Japan, Danish furniture designer Anker Bak intimately understands how to design for small spaces. To create a comfortable area with natural circulation even in tight quarters, his solution was twofold: versatility and functionality. Developed for Carl Hansen & Søn, the AB019 Wall Desk presents a minimalist silhouette with smooth rounded edges. Made from FSC-certified oak veneer or black laminate with stainless-steel mounts to secure it to the wall (solid oak cover caps conceal the screws for a seamless look), the desk can incorporate a matching drawer to complete the stylish and stimulating work nook.

Studio Desk

Upgrading a classic with bold materials and refined touches, Danish brand Vipp presents its new office furniture standout: the Studio Desk. Available with two chic yet dramatically different material compositions for the worktop — moody Bosca leather with a walnut frame and sparkling Ocean Grey marble — the polished aluminum table infuses work life with a sense of luxury. Its gently rounded corners lend softness whether the desk is freestanding or placed against a wall.

Vox Tambour Workstation

For modern office furniture, customization is key. And with its adjustable-height Vox Tambour Workstation, Canadian manufacturer Nienkämper makes it easy. The series comprises multiple sizes,  finishes and storage options. Additionally, its concealed hardware, minimalist floating shelves, soft-close cabinets and drawers and integrated LEDs give it a cohesive and sophisticated expression. On the sustainability front, eco-friendly eelgrass replaces standard acoustic panelling to help dampen noise and manage moisture. Other accents and accessories include shoe racks, mirrors and hooks.
