Flickr Finds: Evil Genius Desk Makes Work Kinda Creepy

111408_sz_desk.jpg We don't know if we love it or are scared of it, but this is a home office desk you won't find at West Elm. Designed by Detroit crafter Jef Hancock and found in the home of Flickr member John Manoogian III it's got that evil gynecologist feel to it. We don't know how things on the tabletop don't slide down, but that must be part of the whole evil genius thing. A few more photos after the jump and a breakdown of what it's made out of...

The glass top is sitting on a vintage morgue gurney base!

It's beautiful, if a little macabre. Though still way better than the dining room table I once heard was made from a morgue gurney. ew.
