Materials: Ikea table, steel tabletops, computer tower desk trays
Description: I had to surrender my home office to make room for my new baby boy ;) I took an Ikea stainless steel kitchen "work table", some Ikea computer tower desk trays, two steel tabletops, and two grated steel shelves to make an "office" that I could pack away into a closet.
p.s. I've still been looking for my old Ikea catalog that features the items I used so that I can submit the exact design models that I used.
See a higher res image of the build.

Well done! It looks like a lot of thought and work went into this clever project. If anyone is feeling entrepreneurial, I bet there would be a market for exactly this sort of device.
ReplyDeleteNow just cover the outside in laminate wood, put a baby changing table on top and squeeze in a cat litter box next the cpu and double it's awesome factor!!!
ReplyDeletedefinitely need some step by step and more closeups. this would be the ultimate portable desk for my studio
ReplyDeleteThis is such a comprehensive hack, great work. Could you please give details on your temperature sensing and ventilation systems, as I'm undetaking a hack on the Expedit range of cabinets for a complete home entertainment system and I'm having difficulty in sourcing suitable items, as heat will be a major problem. I'll document the hack when it's finshed. Again a great hack.
ReplyDeleteI meant the Besta range, I've got Expedit on the brain..
DeleteGlorious idea! :D
ReplyDeleteAnyone else having problems with the last thread of pics? Cant seem to zoom in on them
Go to the high res version at the end of the post . . . that should allow you to see all the pics.
DeleteShould be in the running for 2012 hack of the year. This is definitely not amateur hour here.
ReplyDeleteBad. Ass.
ReplyDeleteI like the patent pending at the end. Make sense on why instructions weren't given for this work of art.
ReplyDeleteWhole thing looks like gates computer back in 1975. I want one. Needs a secret cupboard so you can turn into a bar after hours.
