The inspiration behind the Task desk came from the designers' desire to create a personal workspace that integrates all the necessary tools while conserving space. In today's world, where more people are working remotely, having a comfortable and organized workspace is essential. The Task desk blends seamlessly into any home decor, drawing inspiration from mid-century design with a contemporary twist.
What sets the Task desk apart is its unique combination of aesthetic quality and compact size. It can be placed anywhere in your home, even if you don't have a separate office. The desk features a range of innovative features that ensure a clutter-free workspace. When not in use, everything is concealed, providing a clean and organized look.
The Task desk includes a variety of features designed for comfort and ease of use. It has an integrated light that illuminates the countertop without causing glare. The desk also features Wi-Fi speakers that are Alexa-enabled, allowing you to play music or use voice commands. Concealed wire management behind a sliding door keeps cables tidy and out of sight. The desk also includes charging under-mounts for phones and tablets, a mailbox for miscellaneous items, and a modular plant system on the top shelf.
Constructed from sturdy materials, the Task desk is built to last. The legs, mailbox, and wishbone crossbar are made from beautiful solid walnut-stained wood, providing solid support. The countertop is covered with a stain-free vinyl that is soft to the touch and protects against ink stains. The top tier of the desk is made from perforated sheet metal and houses hidden integrated speakers.
The dimensions of the Task desk are W 1118 mm x H 762 mm x D 710 mm, and it consists of seven parts that are flat-packed for easy shipping and assembly. The desk can be easily assembled at the customer's place with the included instructions.
The Task desk offers a seamless and convenient workflow, with all the necessary technological tools always accessible. The light can be turned on with a wave of the hand, and charging a phone or tablet is as simple as placing it on the under-mount charger. The Wi-Fi and Alexa-enabled speakers make it easy to play music or use voice commands. The top of the desk features specially designed modules that can house standard-sized plants or a picture frame, adding a personal touch to the workspace.
The Task desk project began in January 2021 and took two years to complete. The designers went through a rigorous design process, from concept sketches to computer-generated drawings to 3D models. Multiple variations of the prototype were constructed before the final version was achieved.
The Task desk has received recognition for its outstanding design. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2023. This prestigious award is given to designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills and contribute to quality of life improvements.
With its innovative features, compact size, and stylish design, the Task desk is a game-changer for those who work from home. It provides a clutter-free and organized workspace, allowing for maximum productivity and comfort.
