On Desks

Shawn Blanc, in an interview with Brett Kelly:

An oversized desk is the only sort worth owning. For one, they’re there for you when you need that extra space for papers and other work (when you need the space, there never seems to be enough). Secondly, when your oversized desk is clean and empty, the unused acreage is a sight to behold.

When a small desktop is clean it merely looks tidy, as it should. But when an oversized desk is clean? That’s conversation worthy.

I have a large desk at home and at work, and Blanc’s right — you can’t lose going big.
