Do you live in a crowded house and suffer from lack of privacy while working? Your lucky day today! Sophie Kirkpatrick has the perfect solution for your plight; The Duplex Workspace Desk. A desk with a hood! Pull it up when you want to shut out the world and concentrate on the task as hand; pull it down when you are ready to mingle.
The Duplex Workspace is a one off prototype but Sophie is looking into developing the concept and is currently on the lookout for the funding and facilities to do so.

From an ergonomic point of view it’s pretty bad. When the cover is up you are hunched inside. Look at the position of the guy’s wrists when using the laptop; bent over the edge of the desk. Also, the shape of the storage underneath looks to be just big enough to hold nothing bigger than an A5 document without it hanging out the front.

Size – approx L 1200 x D 600 x H 1500
Material – Ash Veneered surface and hood. Solid Ash turned legs.

Designer: Sophie Kirkpatrick
