Grant Sonnex is a furniture designer/maker located in Gloucestershire in the UK. Grant was an award-winning BBC producer, but decided to move on and train with renowned furniture designer maker David Savage. He then established his own fine furniture workshop making contemporary fine furniture. That piece above — “computer desk for Apple iMac” — is one of my favorite pieces.

I love the pictures! The unique lines of that desk are phenomenal. I could definitely see a university student working on their computer on that desk.

So it’s a desk that doesn’t work as well as a standard desk but looks kinda pretty.
Oh how clever.

Can you use a PC with that computer desk? Or is it only compatible with iMacs?

It was just designed for someone who wanted it for an imac. you could use it for anything, but because the iMac is self contained I didn’t need to think about where to put the “body” of the computer

A computer desk for iMacs? How smug.

was the design done with Rhino and CNC for the computer desk? perhaps Shopbot?
