BH | Studio Stamford Slatted Wall-Mount Corner Desk

In the 1950s, Danish designers began hanging furniture straight on the wall, leaving the floor clear in small city apartments, and wall-hung shelving and storage soon became a fixture of British homes too. The idea suits an old English town like Stamford, whose Georgian stone houses are full of handsome rooms where floor space is precious.

This one is an L-shaped desk that mounts to the wall and wraps around a corner, giving two long work surfaces at right angles. At each end sits a slatted drawer that pulls out to its full length for pens, notebooks and chargers, and a hole in the top lets cables drop down to the outlet. It is rated to hold 200 lbs, so two monitors, a laptop dock and a printer can share the top. With no legs, you mount it at the height that suits your chair, and the floor beneath stays open. It is engineered wood with a warm walnut-tone laminate. Assembly is required.

It turns an unused corner of a bedroom, guest room or living room into a real home office, and suits an apartment or dorm where every foot of floor counts. Pair it with a white wall, a swivel chair in caramel leather, floating shelves above, a brass task lamp and a cork pinboard. This listing is for one desk.
