A Look at the Desks of Some Extraordinarily Creative People

With a laptop computer , smartphone , and ubiquitous WiFi , do desks matter any longer ? This short film , entitled — gasp—”The Desk , ” tackles a fascinating subject we all take for granted , exploring the work surfaces of artists , designers , and writers , messy and minimal .

When work is increasingly mobile , does having a physical place to be clamped down , to plant your own originative flag — does this become more or less crucial ? Our employment tools are more mobile than they ’ve ever been , but do we still need a place to call our own ? Are desks just a stead to stick a monitor lizard , or do they say something about us ? Do you still have a desk at domicile ? Is it covered in gossamer , or your next big project ? [ Laughing Squid ]
