Introducing the "Rewrite" desk by designer GamFratesi. This is a prototype desk that's in the GamFratesi’s solo show at The Danish Museum of Art and Design.



Here are my pro's and con's about what I feel about this new prototype desk.

Pro:
- It's nice and secluded. Perfect for anyone who likes to have their own space and not be disturbed by anyone in the same room.
- It has a very ergonomic design which is very nice and fit to put inside a room that does not have a lot of space.

Con:
- I am disturbed by the cave-like shape it's in because someone could possibly bump their head if they are not paying attention.
- The "hovering" of the cave-shape blocks out any natural sunlight to hit. In fact, if the sunlight were to hit it on the other side, it would create a very dark shadow effect for the user.
- The small space makes it inconvenient for a person's arms to spread out.

Overall, I feel that the design of this table can be efficient if the top portion gave more air-space so it would not feel so secluded from the area around it. The seclusion makes the space very tight and no sunlight can shine on it. Perhaps GamFratesi was not looking to create a space for air-room but was looking to create an efficient space for a cramp room. Other than that, it's a very interesting design.
