“Perch” is a conceptual exercise to create better desks for schoolchildren. Simon Dennehy’s design tilts the desk up like an easel, provides a trough to easily catch pens and markers (and at lunchtime, can be slopped with food), and even a cupholder at the top for drinks. I appreciate that he’s used an institutional orange color, as well, although I wonder if that was on purpose.
