Computer desk

I’m in need of a new computer desk, so while I’m saving up for it, I’m dreaming about designing my own one day. :slight_smile:

All crit welcome, especially from industrial design standpoint as that’s my weakest spot.

Nobody likes computer desks? :stuck_out_tongue:

chair too small, gives cramps in legs.
desk too high, gives crook in neck.

The style is good… but at first sight, it doesn’t look like a computer desk.

I mean it sure looks like a desk :stuck_out_tongue: but the chair is not Geek/office like.

I like the materials though.

Lower desk is at 66cm, upper desk is at 76cm. I think that’s about the right height. The ‘chair’ is not a chair at all, but a rack for the computer case. :wink: I have yet to model the chair and put it there as reference, as well as the computer itself.

EDIT: Attached a quick’n’dirty mockup.

lol-ing at everyone that thought it was a chair.

I like it. looks a bit to shiny, but if you’re just going for design more than perfection of model, then I love the design, 10 centimeters is more than enough for a keyboard so I think you’re set (mine is only about 4 centimeters for keyboard area)

Well, yeah, it’s definitely too shiny. I’m trying to get that polished aluminium look, but I can’t seem to nail it. Here’s an update, this time with the chair.

ouch… i wouldnt want to sit in that chair for more than 10 mins :stuck_out_tongue:

Hm, this is the second comment to that effect. I wonder what makes people think that. From the shape itself it would seem to be a perfectly OK chair.

well its metal… and the back is so low that it would give me allot of back pains

Thanks for the input, natholas. Your insight was very valuable. :slight_smile: I have added the back and remodeled the front edge of the seat to make things a bit more ergonomic (yes, I’m aware I’m abusing the term).

Here’s the update. Still no actual computer, though. Coming soon(ish). :slight_smile:

ah yes that looks like i could sit on that :slight_smile: nice work :smiley:

Good, not all hope is lost. :smiley:

ouch, I didn’t know that was where the computer went.
the desk looks great.
and as for the chair you added it looks great also.
maybe put a pillow on it though. :wink:

I’ll leave that to owner’s imagination. I don’t design pillows. :slight_smile:

I am going to buy my new computer. I want to use new Window 7. I didn’t have any idea about the the purchasing of computer and requirements. Some one help me in this problem.

What is require for window 7?

A designer computer desk and chair, of course.

Way to derail the thread. This looks great, btw!

That’s a nice looking desk. I like the design concept–sleek, clean and futuristic. Though I’m not too sure about the chair; the square legs appear too large. It may be the angle of the shot.
