Stockholm-based designers at Greatboys sure have what it takes to come up with a creative piece of furniture. Apparently they’ve released a desk dubbed “Shade” that uses the classic plastic shades as center stage. A clean minimalist design that looks modern enough for any interior, the 1.8 m long by 0.50 m in height and 0.40 m deep piece of furniture is both functional and appealing at the same time. I’d sure make room for something like that in my home. – via

The airyness works but the materials (blinds) will defeat the piece in the long-run. The novelty of the blinds will quickly wear thin and become a nuisance, like they are in any application. They degrade just as fast with regular use and that not counting a child or animal using them (badly). Blinds also afford one more place for dust to sit (pet peeve -_-). Suggestion would include a solid state approximation of the cross sections, maybe of multiple sizes or apertures..
Looks like an enormous air conditioner.
Really creative furniture Design
Not the most practical I would imagine…but certainly cool in looks!
this is nothing new – Miami designer Dennis Jenkins did this in
the early 1970′s – but did it much better!
First look at it said: “Giant Oreck air cleaning unit” but this one will be a dust magnet. No thank you.
This is absolutely brilliant, It pushes the envelope for what objects
are used for, it mixes different ideas to create a whole new one.
This is what design is all about.
