Jurjen van Hulzen from Wurk, the Netherland design firm behind the It Hûske office furniture, brings us a new series of work-related furniture based on the classic pupil's desk.

The "recession-friendly" Wurkchair, pictured above, "adds a new function to already existing products, just by adjusting them or putting them in another context." The concept was born when the designers reversed their chair and sat down while trying to take down some notes.

Antilope, below, is a continuation of this gesture, but instead of making existing objects into "recession friendly" workspaces, it seeks to transform an existing icon of work furniture into a toy.

These don't seem to be online yet, but watch for them here.

Couple more shots after the jump.
