NEC Future Desk

grabcad

This design revolves around a central monitor, which is supported by a "backbone" element that can accommodate third-party monitor arms. For enhanced customization, it also allows integration with third-party keyboard arms. Providing comfort, the desk features a front filleted edge. Integrated compartments are included for cable management and hiding objects like power socket extensions and transformers. Access openings on either side allow easy connectivity to tower PCs and workstations. A rear opening lid provides access to the integrated compartments, with a brush strip covering the gap for dust protection. The desk's exclusivity and personalization are achieved through interchangeable top and back panels made of various materials like wood veneered panels, Kerlite, Corian, Stainless Steel, glass, or HPL. An over-the-top version could feature a top panel with integrated touch keyboard and touchpad. The legs are proposed to be made of carbon fibre veneered plywood for optimal structural stiffness, while the main body is suggested to be a carbon fibre-plywood-fiberglass sandwich for strength to support multiple monitors. The monitor arms used are from HumanScale, while the NEC monitor and concealed hinge are from GrabCAD.
