Consentable WT Ao PC Work Desk

Consentable WT Ao PC Work Desk is an innovative furniture design that exemplifies the harmonious integration of traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern technological needs. Created by designer Takusei Kajitani, this sophisticated work desk addresses the contemporary challenges of cable management and device organization in home office environments. The desk features a meticulously crafted structure made from solid black cherry wood and laminated plywood, measuring 1150mm in width, 600mm in depth, and 700mm in height. Its most distinctive characteristic is the application of traditional Japanese Aizome (indigo dyeing) technique, requiring multiple hand-dyeing processes that transform the wood grain to resemble the surface of a calm sea. The design incorporates thoughtfully engineered storage solutions, including a concealed wiring space behind the top plate (measuring W1050mm D100mm H750mm) and dedicated device compartments that maintain a clean, minimalist aesthetic while accommodating modern technological requirements. The desk's legs feature innovative grooves designed to house power strips and cables, while the integrated storage system allows for seamless connectivity between devices. This design, which earned a Bronze A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category, represents a significant advancement in addressing the evolving needs of remote work environments while maintaining aesthetic sophistication. The project, which commenced in Tokyo in 2014 and reached its final form in 2020, demonstrates exceptional attention to detail in both its functional and aesthetic elements, particularly in its patented design features that facilitate a clutter-free workspace.
