If It's Hip, It's Here (Archives): small furniture design

The HIDEsk by Michael Hilgers is an office you can literally hide in the tightest of spaces.

A new product introduced at IMM Cologne, the HIDEsk from German company noroom offers new options of working in small spaces: This pop-up office can change a bedroom within seconds into a small but functional working space.

The powdercoated metal back hides cables and chargers and can be individualised with flexible aluminium shelves.

The body and flap are made from durable birch plywood with white film coating. The depth of the folded lightweight aluminium structure is only 8 cms. With approx. 75 cms width it offers enough space for a laptop with mousepad but it is handy enough to hide it after work.
