If you’re convinced you simply don’t have the room for a home office in your apartment, prepare to be wrong. IKEA’s new Längdhopp desk has a little (big) secret. What may look like a narrow, console-like table is actually a full-on workspace thanks to a second tabletop that pulls out from below.
When that ledge is tucked in, the tabletop measures a mere 16 inches deep—at full extension, you’re working with around 28 inches. And there is no secret code words or significant maneuvering involved in getting it stowed away; it really is just a simple push thanks to a set of castors on the front legs.
Slide the Längdhopp behind a sofa to use as a landing pad for remotes and movie night snacks or put it in a hallway to display your collection of ceramics. Then pull out that secret desk when you’ve got some work to do. Sure, it might block a walkway temporarily, but you are practically creating an office out of thin air. Of course, there’s also the office-guest bedroom flex, too. Basically, wherever you need to stash work away before- and after-hours, it’s got you. Talk about healthy boundaries.
