Those who fondly recall a childhood bed modelled on the shape of a car may want to upgrade to this new writing desk to bring a little childlike wonder along into adulthood. Petrol head or not, the automotive inspired desk is bound to encourage you to spend more time with your nose to the grind – if only for the chance to sit behind the smooth, clean curves of the rear end of a hacked Porsche 911.
Designed and handcrafted by 3 GJB 17, a design studio who specialize in custom furniture built from vehicle parts, the silver Porsche chassis is finished with a base carved from American walnut and opens to reveal a fully functional work station. Recently sold at auction by RM Sotheby’s for $30,000, pay close attention to 3 GJB 17 for their next surprise.
