Showing in North Carolina October 19-24 at the Fall 2013 High Point Furniture Market, three new desks by Gus* Modern combine convenient workspaces with modern shapes. Designed for the home office by Gus* Modern, the Canadian furniture design and manufacturing company that believes in "simple forms and honest materials," these three compact desks are meant "to integrate into existing living spaces."

 Compact Desks in FSC-Certified Ash and Walnut

Finch is a compact writing desk with suspended drawers and a truss-style base. Constructed of FSC-certified, sustainably-harvested ash, Finch is a perfect spot to perch laptops and textbooks with just enough storage for "family members to do homework, use their computers and tablets, or take care of finances." Conrad pays homage to mid-century designs with its strict lines and tubular legs, although its scale and functionality have been revamped for today's lifestyle.

The Junction Desk combines minimalism with open storage. Its trough back is ideal for resting books, magazines, stationary, and electronic devices (or anything that deserves to be displayed). And this clean little number even accommodates tech-driven life with concealed brushed metal fittings for cord management. The single push-open drawer provides a neat space for items that need hiding-a secret stash, if you will.
