Telecommuting in Style by Joe Ashbrook Nickell for Digital Living Today In recent years, the telecommuting boom and the appearance of the desktop computer as an all-but-mandatory fixture of the den or home office, has brought about a radical redesign of not only the computer itself (witness the iMac and its many imitators), but of the home office desk it sits on. The finest writing desks of yore, with their high, flat surfaces, make the worst computer desks, and bland particle board office furniture can ruin many a hip home decorating scheme. But where there's a want, there's a way. Today, the fashion- and function-conscious telecommuter can have it both ways. Leading the pack of cutting-edge home office desks is the Biomorph line from I.D/Design (www.biomorph.com). Biomorphs are built around a concept the company calls the "center of power." Cheesily named but elegantly executed, the idea is that the desk curves organically around the user, situating everything radially within arm's reach. The keyboard and monitor surfaces crank to the ideal height for all but the most hulking or diminutive user. Some models even allow users to adjust from sitting to standing modes. Space-age beautiful and ergonomically intelligent, the Biomorph designs have shown up in industrial design exhibitions and museum shows. Prices range from a $349 basic desk to over $4,000 for a fully accessorized, "my-workstation-has-more-knobs-and-doodads-than-your workstation" model. The time-honored desk has entered the digital age. Whatever your personal tastes and needs are in terms of style, size and configuration, there's a desk available to make your home office both efficient and an integral part of your home's overall decor.
