Put the work day behind you with a smart WFH station in disguise

BOX CLEVER

Looking more like a chic wardrobe than something workrelate­d, the Savio desk by David Dolcini for Porada makes logging in for the day a delight. While the outside is a celebratio­n of the beauty of Canaletta walnut, the maple-wood interior features storage areas, a foldaway leather-topped desk and built-in lights. £19,200, Porada

DAY TO NIGHT

A sleek, contempora­ry take on a classic bureau, the Davenport by David Irwin for Another Country is beautiful in its simplicity – slices of pale solid oak furnished only with three surreptiti­ous brass handles. Gone is the traditiona­l angled front, adding enough space within for a computer screen, and inside you’ll find hidden compartmen­ts, a pinboard and cable storage. Everything can be easily tidied away at the end of the working day, plus it doubles as a bar for after-work drinks. Win win! From £3,287.50, David Irwin for Another Country

INTO THE FOLD

Totally convincing as a set of drawers, the beautifull­y minimalist metal-framed Dita secretaire by Pagnon & Pelhaître for Ligne Roset is divided into three pull-out sections.

Its top compartmen­t folds flat to become a desktop, while the inner area and storage space in the lower drawers make room for workrelate­d memorabili­a. Customise with a cable and USB ports. From £1,222, Pagnon & Pelhaître for Ligne Roset

FRENCH FANCY

Made from recycled pine, Oka’s Briolette bureau is traditiona­l with a twist. While it may be based on an antique

French design, with a cream-painted façade finished rustically, once you’ve pulled down the front to form the desktop you’ll find all the mod cons needed for working life – a hidden cable hole, eight drawers and two box files. £4,595, Oka
