Award-winning Danish designer Anker Bak (b. 1983) nurtured his approach to traditional craft and human-centric design while living and working in Japan, China, and Finland. He has designed a wall desk pared back to the bare essentials. Read on and learn more about versatile Danish functional minimalist furniture.
Placing people’s needs at the core of his process, his designs focus on adaptability to create more space for everyday ease. Inspired by his experiences of Japanese tiny living, Anker Bak’s elegant and functional desk presents versatile work and play solutions for smaller spaces.
The desk has a slim tabletop, made from oak or laminate, and stainless-steel wall mounts. Its design embraces a minimalist aesthetic, showcasing beautiful yet functional details. The tabletop is finished with a rounded edge that softens the design and serves as a comfortable armrest. An optional wall desk drawer made from solid oak mirrors the desk’s organic, tactile design idiom. It can be fitted underneath the tabletop or positioned on top, doubling as a laptop stand. Equipped with a practical opening for wires, the spacious drawer allows chargers to be discreetly stored out of sight. Magnetic, solid oak cover caps hide the wall mount screws to complete the desk’s simple look.
