An occasional desk for the home. There are often many distractions when working at home and Slope is designed to counteract these. The angled top gives a more ergonomically correct working surface which aids your concentration helping you to finish your work as quickly as possible. The opening storage areas let you can hide away your work once finished, providing a physical barrier between work and home. Also the angled top also prevents clutter accumulating, forcing you to tidy away once a period of work is finished.
When working, the two accompanying wedges keep a drink level and stop your pen from rolling away. When not in use the square wedge can be used for a vase or other items of decoration. Inside the two felt lined storage areas are of a perfect size for a laptop, tablet and other essentials.
The prototype is constructed from a mix of birch veneer MDF and plywood. The legs are solid maple.
