Desks for Home and Professional Workspaces
A desk needs to provide enough surface space for the way you work while fitting comfortably within the room. Consider the equipment you use, whether the workspace is used by one or several people, and how much room needs to remain around the table. Huset’s office collection takes a flexible approach to the desk, with tables that can work across home offices, studios, meeting spaces and other working environments.
Home Office Desks
A home office desk may sit within a dedicated study or share space with a living or dining area. In either setting, dimensions are important. A more compact table can establish a focused workspace without dominating the room, while a larger surface provides greater flexibility for monitors, lighting, documents and other equipment. Pair your desk with an Office Chair suited to the amount of time you spend working and the level of support and adjustment you require.
Muuto 70/70 and Base Tables
Muuto’s 70/70 and Base collections demonstrate how a table can move between different settings. The 70/70 Table is defined by its geometric aluminium frame and substantial work surface, while the Base Table takes a pared-back approach with a lightweight visual expression. Both are available across multiple dimensions and finishes, allowing the same underlying table concept to respond to different rooms and ways of working.
Choosing the Right Desk Size
Start with the available floor area, then consider the equipment that needs to remain on the desk. A laptop-based workspace may require considerably less surface area than a setup with multiple monitors, task lighting and documents. Also allow sufficient room for your chair to move comfortably. If the desk is positioned within a multipurpose room, consider circulation around the table as well as the working surface itself.
Materials and Finishes
Huset’s current office desk collection includes oak, linoleum, laminate and nanolaminate surfaces paired with aluminium frames. Each brings a different material expression to the workspace, from the natural variation of timber to more uniform coloured surfaces. Consider the desk alongside flooring, storage, seating and other furniture in the room. In a home office, the material and finish can help connect the workspace with the wider interior rather than treating it as a separate zone.
Office Desks for Flexible Spaces
Not every desk needs to be limited to one function. A generously proportioned table can provide a workspace during the day and support dining, meetings or other activities when required. This flexibility can be particularly useful in homes and studios where rooms need to accommodate more than one purpose. Explore Office Furniture for complementary seating and workspace ideas.
