New York-based Barbarian Group wanted a collaborative work space--an office where all employees would be able to sit at a desk, but where they could still escape to creative work areas.
Clive Wilkinson was the architect who made their vision a reality, according to Business Insider.
The desk, made out of 4,400 sf of plywood and one continuous sheet of resin, is so big that all 145 employees can share it.
In a video explaining the new office space, Barbarian Group points out that manufacturing and assembling the giant desk actually cost less than shipping in individual cubicles and desks.
