Taking mobile working to the extreme – or simply providing an incredibly stylish and discreet office in your home – this amazing hand crafted steamer trunk has been designed as the ultimate compact office. Made from vintage cigar leather over a solid wood frame by antiques dealer and furniture maker Timothy Oulton of London, it features over 3,000 hand hammered brass nails as accents. With a pull-down desktop and multiple drawers, cubbies, wire management and bookshelves there’s a place for everything you need. It’s wheeled for mobility – or for easy closing for privacy and discretion.

What other desk would look as good as this in that Manhattan loft? Available from Restoration Hardware for $3,995.
