Photos of The Barbarian Group’s ‘Superdesk’, An Endless Desk That Wraps Around Their Entire Manhattan Office

Superdesk

In April I attended a happy hour hosted by our friends at the digital creative agency The Barbarian Group at their new headquarters in New York City. At the party they were debuting their new “Superdesk” (see previous post), an amazing 1,100 foot-long endless desk that wraps around their entire office and can seat up to 175 employees. The Superdesk, which covers a surface area of 4,400 square feet, was custom made for The Barbarian Group by Clive Wilkinson Architects.

The challenge was to create the most collaborative, creative environment possible. The result? A desk that we could all share, literally – 4,400 square feet of undulating, unbroken awesomeness to keep people and ideas flowing.

Here’s the full set of photos of the Superdesk that I shot at the party.
