The design of From A Lost City was inspired by favelas — Brazilian shanty towns. By embracing different and irregular materials, designer Christian Vivanco reminds us of the beauty of simplicity and the importance of function...
This inspires us to build something similar from random containers and some basic IKEA parts.
Via: mocoloco.

this is a cool piece...and yet, i would hesitate to call anything a desk that you can't scooch your chair up to/under. you can sit near it, but not *at* it. nice as a standing craft station though, depending on the height.
For us lovers of cyberpunk, this is something. (Though you are right, unfortunately you can't sit *at* it.)
i love a lot of things on that site :) inspiring designs.
snazzy changing table
on its own it looks fun, but i think it is far too gimmicky to successfully join other furniture. (and it certainly isn't a desk?)
A work center for the patio or greenhouse area, but not for the house.
No like at all.
How many favela dwellers would want this?
