Milk: The Ultimate Desk For Mac Users
Apple February 19th, 2007Introducing Milk, the most innovative and perfect office desk in the world. It has a built in fish tank, pen holder, garbage bin, file cabinets, height adjuster & the box to hold all of your cable clutter. This is the most amazing, beautiful, stylish, and simplistic desk I have ever laid my eyes on.
Though prospective buyers from around the globe should prepare to be disappointed. The desk is currently only available in Denmark, with no date or even plans set for a worldwide release.
Yes I’ll say it again. This really is the most innovative and stylish desk I’ve ever seen. I’d love to have everything I need to complete my day and get work done an arms reach away, including the trash can and stationary, with no cable clutter in sight.
The only downside is the desks support is in the middle, right where many like to put their legs. If this desk had four legs for support, two on each side, I dont think anyone could pick a negative point up on it.
If this was available to ship worldwide anytime soon, I’d be the first on the list to have one. It really is the ultimate desk, for any Mac user.
What do you think of the Milk desk? Would it be an improvement over your current one?

Ew. I’ll take my solid oak desk any day, I think this is too industrial. Personal preference, I guess.

It looks a little sexy but I’m sticking witht myy new wood desk :D

Not bad. But I don’t like white “glossy desks”.
This desk in woody optic => Totally awesome.

The website (http://milk.dk/) does say they’re working hard to get worldwide distribution but, as cool as it looks, it isn’t for me.

When I saw this desk a few days ago on digg.com I thought instantly “I want this desk”. Thinking about it though, I much rather my wooden desk at home. I don’t know what it is but solid wooden desks win outright. Heh.
Anyway.. it is a pretty funky desk.

I think its useless. The leg stand is in the middle, where I usually have a subwoofer, aka my foot rest, and it’s not near large enough… that picture has a 20″ ACD that takes up a third of the desk. I have usually have often-used books and school related stuff on one side of my desk then a bit of space for my logitech speakers, some space for my lamp as well. And where do peripherals go? In my desk I have my printer hidden inside the larger drawer, along with an external HD, all wired behind the desk.
Ikea knows how to

Yeah Paul! IKEA for the win!

I think it *would* be the best desk ever if it was bigger and it had four legs! (I hate desks with anything in the middle where my legs should be.)

That center column would piss me off. I put my feet there, and I have a foot rest from another chair under there :P
I love me some IKEA. My desk is IKEA and I love it.

I took a look at it on my blog, and except for that pillar in the middle, it looks nice.

As many people have said, having the leg in the middles is a deal-breaker (As I’m sure the price would be as well)
My room is simply not large enough to have all that wasted space!
February 20th, 2007 at 12:48 pm
I guess this thing costs the same price that a new mac.
IKEA FTW.

I saw this desk a few days ago, and I agree with the comments above, that the middle leg will just be in the way, and that there needs to be more room for work.

Having the support in the center of the table is what completely removes the option of this table for me. I like having tons of legroom. Plus, having that one pole there like that makes it seem to me that it’d tip over easily. I looked at the base of it and it doesn’t look very big..
And why would someone want a fish in a cube, that’s cruel! :P

Too minimalist for me. I’d rather have a large rosewood desk with old-style British colonial fittings, and a velvet green top. I like large heavy desks that I don’t need to be overly gentle with.

It is beautiful ! And it is very cheap, don’t you think ? :D :p

Wow! Sounds great, I’m sure my Canadian friends will be stocked about this.

I disagree with most of the critics. I find that desk beautiful. But I can’t believe a scandinavian designer missed the basic thing when drawing a desk: the minimum height (73 cm) is OK for handwriting but too high for a keyboard.
