Mobile Box Office: Convertible Metal Desk, Chair & Cabinet



This working all-in-one furniture piece may not win any design awards on its aesthetic merit
(or for its ergonomics), but does provide an extremely compact solution for saving office space – cabinets, drawers, chair and desk are all rolled into one relatively slim metal box (and float on rollers, no less).

At less than two feet wide and just a few feet deep, the robust exterior shell can be slid on its wheels into a closet, corner or other out-of-the-way storage area when not in use – again: it is not exactly stunning, but at least achieves a functional and discrete minimalism that lets you get the job done and pack the whole workspace system away for another day.

The chair slots neatly into a void beneath the desk surface, next to drawers and below shelves on either side when this ‘Box Office‘ is closed, making maximum space for shelving and internal storage in addition to working/sitting needs. At around two thousand dollars, it is perhaps not the cheapest solution – but might still be cheaper than adding a whole new office room to your home.
