The other day we posted about a desk concept that appealed to our propensity to work in privacy...a desk we dubbed, Every Designer's Dream Desk. But alas, that desk is but a render at the moment. This Ligne Roset desk, the "Rewrite", is probably priced out of the range of mere mortals, but it is a real world option for those looking to recreate the privacy of those university library desks we spent countless quiet hours toiling from...
Unveiled at the Cologne 2011 exhibition, the Ligne Roset Rewrite desk is a virtual cocoon for the private sort, creating a fiberglass niche with the laptop user in mind. A powerstrip receptacle sits hidden underneath the desk, while a framed slot allows USB and power cables to slink hidden away.
Unfortunately, it seems the Rewrite desk has yet to make it over here to the US Lignet Roset catalog, but we're wondering how difficult this would be to DIY using the same techniques used to make a monolithic dome structure, but on a much smaller scale and sans concrete.

Having worked in high rise offices nearly my whole career, this is just appealing to me in a home. It's like a recreation of the cubicle (down to the hole to stick your cords in) and it doesn't look pricey! Makes me think of work, not home.
This reminds me of a second grade classroom my daughter was in; all the kids had square paper cubicle things on the desks. It felt like a work camp and was so stifling. We can't be creative in confined spaces, we need our minds to BREATHE.
