The evolution of the home desk from a simple flat surface to a sophisticated “operating center” marks the end of the furniture-as-object era and the beginning of the furniture-as-interface era. In a traditional office, the desk is a standardized tool provided by an institution; at home, it is a highly sensitive ecosystem that reflects the user’s cognitive needs.
