Zelos fold-out secretary desk by Christoph Boeninger

Need a desk, but don't really have the space for one? Then get a fold-out desk, like the Zelos secretary desk by Christoph Boeninger.

Yes, folded it's no bigger than a bedside table, but extend it fully and you get a leather writing surface for scribbling down some notes or opening up a laptop, with plenty of room for a notepad and a drink on either side.

Aside from the leather interior, there's also a choice of a glossy black or white outer, along with a chromium-plated steel frame. Yours for around £3,400.

Deborah the Aeroplane Wing Desk

Eye-catching and eco-friendly - Deborah the Aeroplane Wing Desk will certainly add a unique touch to your office or home office.

As the name suggests, Deborah (from Reestore Eco Design) is made from a genuine, reused aluminium aeroplane wing, securely supported by stainless steel legs and topped with toughened glass, offering up a large surface for your work, but sadly lacking any drawer space. You see, there wasn't much call for drawers on the outside of a plane.

Not cheap at just over £2,800, but a guaranteed conversation starter. See over for another image.
