‘Secretello’ is a modern update to the classic secretary desk, a compact workspace that closes up when not in use. The glass panel flips up into a ‘ceiling’ while you’re seated, and you can place shelving or other items inside, so when it’s closed, it becomes a curio cabinet.
Isabel Ahm Secretary Desk for the Home Worker
Many people work from home these days, but not all of them have their own private offices, often slotting desks into their existing domestic environments.

The desk itself is made of ash wood, while this extra piece – sandwiched between two layers of wood – is made of aluminum. The result is a beautiful contrast of materials that also adds function to the piece.
