The Torque Desk is a twisting take on a traditionally formal product. Combining innovative engineering and craftsmanship, the standard desk shape has been transformed into a dynamic spatial object. All the components of its metal body have a structural, functional and aesthetic value. The flat plane of the desk is folded to support itself at the one end while resting on a set of drawers at the other. The rotating drawers are cantilevered around a metal spine, which performs multiple functions including structural support, pivot point, and cable management, connecting the floor to the desk surface.
