Task Track Desk

Relationship Focus: Human-to-Tools

The Task-Track desk allows its users to maintain a task focused workflow by reducing the lag time and distraction caused by shifting from one task to another, such as from reading a book to using a laptop to drawing on paper. The table is designed to accommodate the needs of a drafter working on large sheets of paper, with a need to refer to a computer. The swiveling shelf allows the laptop to rotate on a track around the desk as the user moves to draw and the cantilever provides clearance for working. The shelf’s ability to move allows the user to bring the laptop closer without walking around or reaching over the desk to view the screen. The table is also designed for a user needing to refer to multiple sources smoothly. A slot in the shelf for the laptop allows a book stand to slide in, allowing the user to swivel to and from a book, paper, or tablet. When not in use, it fits on a peg on the side of the table.
