Your Desk Cannot Be Replaced by Mobile Working
Desk – Music and Sound Design from Aaron Trinder Film:Motion:Music on Vimeo.
In the nineties many thought that with a smartphone and a laptop you could work anywhere. This experiment has failed, people need their own desk. This is a part of one of my own desks
And here is another
A desk is also a reflection of your mind, character may be? In this video examples of artists and why their desk is the way it is, but at first Einstein’s desk is mentioned in the video and here a picture of Einstein’s desk.
Not only does the video offer some great workspace inspiration, but it’s also an interesting look at the somewhat intimate relationship we have with our workspace.

I disagree that the desk cannot be replaced by mobile working. The weakness in this video is that there are only 40+ people. They are raised with the idea that a desk is some sort of status symbol what you need to earn/own.
I totally agree with the last sentence of the video. We are in transition where the desk is no longer a physical place but it will become a state of mind or virtual place.
At my work i don’t have a desk. I carry one bag with a folder for papers, mobile phone and a laptop with mobile internet. I can work anywhere. My desktop (on screen) is my virtual desk. I have personal pictures (no more dusty frames) on it, organize my work there, have shortcuts to my (social) networks, etc.
Mobile working will take over the desk but it will take much longer than we expected (in the ’90s).
