apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Based on innovative construction design for refugees, the BeeBoard desk is definitely a unique statement for your home office. DWR has added 50-plus items to its sale listing, including the BeeBoard desk.

DWR's listing explains more about the design's history: "When Piet Boon was asked to create mobile housing for some of the world's vast refugee population, he saw it not only as an opportunity to engage in humanitarian work, but to pioneer new uses for sound building materials that could benefit other populations."

The honeycomb cardboard design provides strength, while the nature of its main ingredient means its lightweight. A clear acrylic top for the desk is provided. There are two sizes of desk available, and two colors in each size (black and white). The small is reduced from the original price of $678 to $409, and the large is reduced from $878 to $549.
