The Humans wanted to create a custom desk built for the room with minimal floor interference. Spanning the entire width of the room the Dozen Desk fits wall to wall: 12 feet long, 29″ tall, 28″ deep and 3.5″ thick… and enough weight to sink a ship. The desk was inspired by a couple trains of thought: minimal leg support, maximum desk space area, use of raw wood to contrast the dark painted walls (letting that grain shine) and the use of industrial galvanized connecting supports to match the corrugated ceiling. The desk is also inspired by growing up on a hobby farm and many of the materials used in the barns. Basic functionality to get the job done, but having serious strength to withstand the wear and tear of horses. Although we don’t have horses roaming around the Habitat, it still has to withstand my ferocious pounce. Check out the build HERE.
