Doubly so for those who live in the city, space-saving solutions are an absolute must, and our next feature is worth looking into if any of this describes you.

When it folds out, it reveals a desktop coming from the side, and a chair that slides right out from between the filing cabinet and the drawers — making for a perfect space-saving solution for students, work-from-home employees and just about anyone else with limited room!

The fold-out desk has been featured in the New York Times as a “Must have for a Micro Pad,” and has been awarded the Golden A’ Design Award in the Furniture, Decorative Items and Homeware design category. On the inspiration for the design, Claudio Sibille said, “I found inspiration in the simplicity and functionality of Scandinavian design mixed with Pittamiglio´s castle logic.”
