Dubbed the Ledge by UrbanCase, this is a perfect little wall desk or media center for a small apartment or guest room.

More minimalist than their other designs (like the sliding-door cabinet, emergency cocktail shelf and joint-emphasized chair shown above), the bare-bones aesthetic works in its favor to make it a more multi-functional interior design objected suited to a variety of purposes.

“Designed by Darin Montgomery and Trey Jones for Urbancase, the award winning ledge maintains a compact profile while providing a pullout work station and storage cubby. a cord management area accommodates a full size power strip and is concealed with a felt lined pencil tray while the cord routing slot reduces clutter on the desktop. when the ledge is not in use, the drop down door folds up to hide the work area. Solid wood sides and top with plywood bottom. Available in domestic walnut or white ash. made in the USA. Mounting hardware included. Allow 6-8 weeks for delivery via architonic.”
