I spend way too much of my life sitting in front of a computer. Of course at work, but also a lot of the time at home. Our new home has a spectacular view of Silicon Valley and we put in a large window to take advantage of it as a place for me to work. I wanted a very specific desk, simple, unadorned with a modern style to match the house and most importantly clutter free.\u00a0 The design I came up with is essentially a box with three drawers on hairpin legs. The wood-grain on the top folds over the miter joints on the sides. With the red-oak plywood I used the effect isn’t that pronounced which was the point. There is a compartment behind the middle drawer to house a socket strip and all the various power supplier. Cables for phones\/tablets etc. go directly into the middle drawer so they’re out of the way when on charge.<\/p>\n

The mitered joint at the end of the table allow the wood-grain to ‘flow’ over the edge and down the side.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I used Sketch-Up to create the design and it’s available for download in their 3D Warehouse.<\/p>\n
