Office desks

Years ago, say half of Dutch households had a desk in their home. Working from home has boosted the need for an office space at home, as has how we view this piece of furniture. At first, the bulk didn't much care what it looked like (with exceptions). Nowadays, things are very different. We no longer tuck desks away in a corner of the house. They are allowed to be there, to be seen. Especially when it comes to desks, functional is a must and stylish is a big plus.

Design desks: good for body, good for ambiance

Look, using the dining table as a desk is fine for once. Or two. Only if working from home is the new norm, the back and neck won't be happy about typing at the kitchen table every day. In need of a desk, preferably one that manages to combine the practical with the aesthetic? Meet designer desks. They know how to bring together the useful with the pleasant. They do it well. From vintage Dutch design classics by Pastoe and Gispen to modern design desks by Vitra.

Second-hand design desks

Important when choosing which second-hand design desk is the place where the piece of furniture may be placed. In the living room, a slimmer, no-holds-barred design desk might be more desirable, rather than a heavy, dark wooden model. Whereas that heavyweight might look stunning upstairs in the study. And to avoid dinner table scenes, there is also the office chair. The Eames design office chair is a good one, for example. Most important is that design desk plus desk chair are a match in terms of style and height.
