"The surge in remote work during the last few years prompted Amsterdam-based
designer Robert van Embricqs to rethink how conventional desks would impact a
home’s atmosphere. He wanted to invite “the user to fold that desk away when
work is over” and created a now-viral piece that seamlessly transforms from
office to artwork.

Constructed with warm wood and brass hinges, the “Flow Wall Desk” features
flush vertical slats that twist and unfold into a tabletop. The small piece of
furniture, which can support about 40 pounds, is minimal in aesthetic and
mimics organic movements as it unfurls from sleek relief to functional space."

Via Esther Schindler, who wrote "Wow, it’s beautiful."
