A Writing Desk or a Funky Coffee Table?

The Molly Desk belongs to  Toby Howes and we can’t really make up our minds whether this is a writing desk, a coffee table or both. This is naturally a good thing in the world of design,where hidden functionality is sometimes a must. The British designer came up with this original concept for a client with a strong passion for 1950’s furniture. Toby says his client  “wanted a desk that combined a light, suspended-in-air feel with the utilitarianism of the time.”  He also stated that the Molly Desk “contrasts light and dark, straight lines and curves, intricate construction with simple style and luxurious materials with sparse design.” We sure enjoy seeing unconventional furniture like this and salute the designers who do their best in coming up with original works.
