Simple, clean storage.
A gorgeous and smart work table is the Borrod Table. Designed by Denmark-based Line Depping,”Borrod table is a project playing with order and disorder. An idea to tidy your working desk in an instant.”

AGNES likes it better when you're older.
I tweeted this last week, but I am still in love with the idea. The design world is seeing a huge burst in ‘service design’ (TASCI, Huddle, This Is Service Design Thinking) the new go to buzz word.
