The need to turn on the computer and work from home can come suddenly and find us unprepared. Recent history has taught us that smart working needs the right organization and when it comes to arranging the work area between the walls of the house, it can be difficult to find the right space. Often in the original design of the house the office corner is absent and here the dining table, or worse, that of the kitchen, become a desk, or even, sometimes, you are satisfied with the sofa. Nothing could be more wrong: if we really want to work smart and therefore agile but efficient, it is important to find space for the desk. Moreover, the companies have been able to translate the need to create a study corner even where it was not foreseen and offer a series of solutions with small dimensions but with a well-kept design, with a wise choice of materials and style. In short, small jewels of beauty and functionality that make the home space more interesting and finally useful, even when it must temporarily become an office. One of the fundamental aspects of these furnishings is precisely the ability to disguise themselves, to be present in the furnishing context but not intrusive, without distorting the sophisticated but familiar atmosphere of a domestic interior.

1. Hyper essential: Nes ย by Jasper Morrison ย forย  Vitra

Nes by Vitra

The workstation designed by Jasper Morrison for Vitra is totally dynamic: it adapts to any type of seat thanks to its adjustable height and tilting surface. It is inspired by traditional music stands but is designed for modern laptops. Made of steel, with finishes in different colors, it moves easily to bring our workplace to where we want.

2. Kaschkaschย  FJU forย  Living Divani

A good alternative is the wall desk. Fju (on the cover) is an essential worktop, which serves as a desk when opened and closed as a storage shelf. The surface is 90 centimeters wide and 45 centimeters deep, the top is anchored to a wall support from which it folds down to take on the shape of a desk or shelf. The whole is measured, essential and discreet, useful but also beautiful to look at and easy to place both in the living room and, for example, in the bedroom.

3. Gaston ย by Florence Watine forย  Hartรด

Gaston by Harto

Gaston is also a wall-mounted desk with flap but the style is completely different. Playful, decorative, with drawers, different colors and bright details, such as the leather tabs. The side is triangular and the whole is vaguely vintage, evocative and catches the eye. But the closed depth of only 31 cm makes it discreet and easy to place.

4. Shika ย byย  Coedition

Shika by Coedition

In the structure it resembles a school desk, with the characteristic undertop for storing papers, but in the style it is modern, interesting and elegant in its essentiality. The rounded shape of the horizontal elements make the difference and make the desk gentle and unobtrusive. The choice, in fact, to have no edges, is significant and is appreciated.

5. Rewrite ย by Gam Fratesi ย forย  Ligne Roset

Rewrite by Ligne Roset

Rewrite is not just a desk but a real nest for those who, when working, need to be protected from any interference from the rest of the house. Starting from this idea Gamfratesi has equipped the desk with a real shell, in fiberglass covered with foam rubber and wool, which softens the noises but also transmits a feeling of comfortable insulation that is appreciated both in the workplace and at home.
