If you picked up a Raw Bench, you might want an appropriate desk to go with it. Design Within Reach is selling the BeeBoard Desk- "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. That led to his BeeBoard Desk and Storage Structure. An ecologically low-impact solution for the home office, the Desk is made from BeeBoard, a layered cardboard with a honeycomb structure" No smoking though- "this item is flammable. Keep away from open flames, cigarettes, heaters and other forms of extreme heat." ::Better Living Through Design. discovered at ::geekpdx
