A loft style desk does not usually have many compartments on the sides. Most often it is a rectangular table, which is fixed on straight legs. Its lower part can be equipped with an additional pull-out compartment. On the work surface of such a table, you will also not find additional shelves for utensils and writing accessories (computer), as this contradicts the overall style concept.

The table can be made entirely of wood or it can stand on two metal legs. metal legslegs, while the table the table top is made is made entirely of solid wood. Many modern products are equipped with legs that allow you to adjust the height of the table. Such furniture is very convenient because it can be adjusted to different heights of chairs and do business with maximum comfort.

Features of a loft style desk

We now propose to consider the distinctive features of loft style desks. loft-style desks in comparison with similar furniture in other interiors.

Practicality is the most characteristic feature of the loft trend. A desk in this style should be reliable, sturdy, designed for prolonged use and resistant to external influences. Note that even decorative desks, which will not be used for the intended purpose, must have the listed qualities.

Ease of use. Regardless of the design features, at the desk, first of all, it should be comfortable to sit and work. An indisputable advantage is also the possibility of moving this piece of furniture if necessary, since one of the features of the loft style is the periodic rearrangement and transformations.

Functionality. A loft-style table can be used not only for work, but also to perform various additional functions (for example, be an element of decor, replace a dining table, etc.).

For the production of furniture in loft style, mainly natural materials are used. In addition, desks often have a deliberately sloppy design. But the furniture from this does not look less presentable, but, on the contrary, becomes an ideal addition to the interior of the loft.

Unobtrusive design. A loft-style desk should not be decorated with bright prints and have an excessive amount of accessories. The concept of this trend is simplicity and conciseness, so a desk decorated with flashy details is unlikely to fit into this interior.

The size of a loft-style desk can be very different. Be sure to consider what parameters should have the table if you are going to zone the room to equip it. Do not forget that the size of the desk should be suitable for work.

Variety of shapes. Loft style desks can be made both in the form of classical geometric shapes and in more complex and unusual variations.

As mentioned above, a loft-style desk is usually one of the main interior objects. It is rarely placed against a wall or in a corner. Most often, it takes place in the center of the room or serves to delimit the zonal space.

Most loft-style furniture looks rough and brutal, so the right materials are used to create it. In some models, natural raw materials (wood or metal) are combined with artificial ones (chrome, plastic, epoxy resin, etc.).

However, the most common material for the production of loft desks is solid wood. Natural wood is known for its strength and durability. These countertops are strong, reliable and resistant to many types of mechanical stress. Oak, ash, pine or birch are most often used as raw materials.

An unusual approach to the design of loft-style countertops is the use of wood slabs. This is the name of the design that mimics the texture of the longitudinal cut of the log. Slabs clearly show unusual color spots and patterns inherent in natural wood textures. Such a desk can become the centerpiece of any interior.
