Convertible work furniture pieces are must haves in these pandemic times. They save you space and hide the workspace at the end of the day, leaving you relaxed. There’s nothing to remind you of work in sight. Or they can be transformed into completely different furniture pieces and even taken into another room to serve a different function.

I love the feeling of freedom associated with a small foldable desk, just pick it up and give yourself a different background. I also love the organization and elbow room found in a space that was intended especially for working and where all the files and trinkets can elegantly fit.
