We work a lot, and it doesn\u2019t make sense for us to be uncomfortable with our makeshift gear any longer. While we\u2019ve <a href=\"http:\/\/dwr.com\/productdetail.cfm?id=2675\">decided on some chairs<\/a>, we\u2019re still looking around at desks.<\/p>\n<p>The decision on a desk seems split between two different philosophies. One is to go with a more stylish option, the type of item you would by at a design furnishing store, such as the <a href=\"http:\/\/dwr.com\/productdetail.cfm?id=6569\">Eames desk<\/a>. It\u2019s a great size, it looks amazing, but functionally, it\u2019s not that different from my current setup. It doesn\u2019t have affordances like a keyboard tray \u2013 but I usually don\u2019t use one anyway. Since we\u2019re a design studio, we really like this option. It\u2019s beautiful! I would <strong>love<\/strong> to see an office full of these guys. It would be a dream come true.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, there are more comfortable options. The <a href=\"http:\/\/anthro.com\/ppage.aspx?pmid=17\">Adjusta Unit<\/a>, by the Anthro Corporation, is also well-designed, but not in the sense that it looks pretty. It\u2019s very adjustable, and bound to be extremely comfortable, and the way something is made is a very important consideration indeed. Design is, as they say, the way it works, and these desks work great. They\u2019re also modular and expandable, something an Eames desk can\u2019t particularly boast.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a tough decision. Which would you choose?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New office desks and chairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8929,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[395],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/e-f\/eames-stamps.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1784"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1784"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1784\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8929"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1784"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1784"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1784"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
