The Lina Desk for Laptop Users

Lina-desk People who are looking for better ways to satisfy their computing needs are bound to love the Lina Desk. Designed by Francois Hurtaud, this is a contemporary desk made from lanky bent plywood objects. The design is a result of combining white ash and black walnut layers that are molded into a smooth end product.

The Lina Desk also features an open tray hidden from the upper flat surface, something you can use for placing your books or resting your keyboard below your laptop. Overall, the Lina Desk was made by considering aesthetics while at the same time reducing the possibility of wasted materials in the production process.
