Flatmate Desk by Michael Hilgers for Müller Möbelwerkstätten

View Photo Gallery

Sometimes a living space just isn’t big enough to fit a desk in it but, boy, it sure is handy to have a workstation sometimes. The Flatmate aims to give you just such a spot without taking up the valuable floor space that most desks do. Designed by Michael Hilgers for Müller Möbelwerkstätten, the slim design barely sticks out from its spot against the wall but gives you plenty of room to attend to all of your desk duties when opened up.

It even features an integrated power supply so you can charge your laptop or tablet while you work.

It’s perfect for creating an office in a hallway or a small corner of your house for you to catch up on your bills.

The back is outfitted with slats to allow for your devices to be held up by shelves that attach to them.

The sides open up for file and CD storage.

Legs need to be higher to rise above baseboard heaters.

The store locator is for Europe… can’t find any reference to get this in the states! Quite frustrating, esp when I don’t speak German.

Such a great design, if only they could make a version big enough for a 27″ iMac!
