The finest writing desks of yore, with their high, flat surfaces, make the worst computer desks, and bland particle board office furniture can ruin many a hip home decorating scheme. But where there's a want, there's a way. Cheesily named but elegantly executed, the idea is that the desk curves organically around the user, situating everything radially within arm's reach. The keyboard and monitor surfaces crank to the ideal height for all but the most hulking or diminutive user.
Some models even allow users to adjust from sitting to standing modes.
Space-age beautiful and ergonomically intelligent, the Biomorph designs have shown up in industrial design exhibitions and museum shows. Particularly appealing for the SOHO user is the Bubble workstation, an organically shaped desk which would look great under that Alexander Calder mobile replica but wouldn't make your boss think you're having too much fun working at home. This integrated chair and desk employs four electric motors to allow independent, fully adjustable configuration of monitor, keyboard, seat, armrest, and headrest position. All of your friends in the Star Trek fan club will be envious of you in this cyberspace captain s chair. Aptus stations are custom-made, so you have to give them your particulars before they reveal the likely astronomical price.
