Best Friend Desk

During this time of social distancing, pets have maximized their time and attention with us by taking over our workspaces as their own.  The “Best Friend Desk” takes on the challenges of working with attention-seeking, spatially-unaware, homebody pets by providing alternate lodgings and entrainment all the while functioning as a workspace for the work-from-home human. The streamlined, complementary curved desk inherently allows for multiple levels of lounging perches and places for playful interlocking with one another. Along with a see-through glass worktop, it permits everyone to be comfortably seen and engaged no matter the species.  Thus creating and claiming, for both pet and hman, the “Best Friend Desk”.
