You want a desk from the future? Well you are in for a rude awakening.
While these desks are not floating like a hoverboard, they are floating in the sense that they are attached to the wall. Still cool.
The only rule here is that they can’t touch the ground! If you aren’t sold on a floating desk quite yet, be sure to check out other desks types.

Why Floating Desks?
Why would you want a floating desk vs. a typical desk? There are many different reasons. For starters, space. A floating desk, or wall-mounted desk, allows for more space both visually and logistically.
When your desk is mounted on the wall, you have more space to use the rest of the room. Visually, when you look at a room, a floating desk can help free up visual space and make the room appear larger and more inviting.
This is perfect for small house living or rooms that serve more than one purpose, such as a guest room or family room.
Another reason someone might jump on the floating desk bandwagon is the ability to customize! A floating desk usually allows the owner to mount it at different heights. This is perfect for those who would prefer a standing posture over a sitting one. It also makes room for all different chairs.
Want to write on your blog on a barstool? Mount a floating desk. Want to be able to walk around your customized camper and also use your PC as a TV? Buy a mountable desk. Other reasons you may want to try a mounted desk is the desire to add a hutch above or beside.
Instead of being stuck with a one-size-fits-all desk, a floating desk opens up your world to many possibilities.
Did we mention they can also be a bit easier on the wallet?
