'homework table' by slovakian designer tomas kral produced by furniture company super-ette implements a 'moat' as a charming way to organize
and accommodate the debris of the working creative. the studio desk is fabricated from aluminum and ash, the metal fringe which is sandwiched in
between the wooden tabletop is able to be used as casual storage for the various flotsam and jetsam of making.
kral says of the piece:
‘homework is a work table which has been set to be even more functional: an aluminium cloth is placed on a wooden table then folded to form a refined extension,
a toolbox to store documents, objects, photos…that you need or simply desire to work. the tilted surface enables you to lay down open books and
continue reading like with a desk.’

Very similar and imho better project by Lithuanian designers: http://www.designboom.com/design/inesa-malafej-my-writing-desk/
interesting – nice to see someone re-think the iconic desk
Good design. Perfect for messy kids……:) I can’t help but imagine the storage place being used as a waste paper basket.
This is great but I’d need a much larger moat.
i’d say it’s a poor way to repeat the first one.
Why a cast aluminium piece so thick between two piece of ash?
I think in 2013, we can make something finer.
And also, the final aspect of the aluminum is not so clean.
(In the first image, I don’t understand how to electric cable goes from the floor to the computer.)
The concept can be interesting but It’s a bit sad to see it like that.
And I think the name is Felipe Ribon and not Felice Ribon.
The picture are really nice.
I like the textured look of the aluminium, and a good idea, not sure how it would fair in the real world, not the one of staged photos? also curious about how the power cable gets up to the table, is there a slot in one of the legs?
vorrei sapere se è in vendita e quanto costa
lo trovo bellissimo.
no doubt, it is a very nice table! the thing is 2012 a Lithuanian designer Inesa Malafej got an iF award for her “My writing desk”

Just in my opinion, this concept looks a little bit similar to Inesa’s concept. I am sure, Tomas didn’t do that on purpose, he seems a nice designer! and this variant of the table is also really nice! anyway, Tomas, I like your designs! all the best! peace and love!
