Is BaObab, the new desk by Philippe Starck, this simple table? Not quite. It offers cable management and some storage, but it is primarily a sculptural element, which embraces the user, protects her or him, supports the work in a fresh way, and provides the office with a happy accent. It is made of a one piece body and an additional writing surface. The materials used in BaObab are Polyethylene and the table top is made out of Polyurethane.
