ANNIK Floating Corner Desk for Small Spaces by Michael Hilgers

In a small apartment or a student room, a full desk often takes space that the room cannot spare. ANNIK, a corner desk by designer Michael Hilgers for the German company OTTO, uses the one part of a room that usually stays empty: the corner.

A triangular desk that floats on the wall

ANNIK is a triangular wood desk that is fixed to two walls and has no legs. Because it sits in the corner, the work area stays out of the way of the rest of the room.

Any height, including standing

The desk can be mounted at any height. Fixed low, it works as a regular sitting desk; fixed higher, it becomes a standing desk.

Shelf and cable management

A small shelf sits above the work surface. The desktop has a hole with a grommet so that cables can pass through neatly.
