A desk can tell a lot about the personality of its occupant, as it both projects and protects its keeper. It is an object that is capable of upending the interpersonal dynamics that take place within the space of the office, a place that bridges both the public and the private. It is as much a place to work as it is a space to receive people. The desk accommodates for shifts in practice and is the site for the materialisation of these tensions and dualities.
