Made from a single standard size sheet of steel, London-based design group Formtanks' goal was to produce "more from less". Once cut using CAD/CAM technology the 3fold desk is hand formed and boasts minimal material wastage of less than 4% per linear meter.
You might have to start saving tho, constructing your own life-size Mikroworld starts at £3,851.

but the detail is not really required, the idea of making it from a single bent sheet is good but it should be kept as simple as possible, and i think its possible to make it simpler...
good idea though
I think its a waste of material rather than "full-%4" utilization.
BECAUSE: you can achieve similar or better structural integrity with much less steel or aluminum.
yes you did prove a point and i bet it was fun. laser/water jet cutting works and it is flat pack (at first) but its heavy and the use of material for what it does is not very convincing for todays ecologic standards.
Functionally lacking (no storage)
Construction method barely novel
Cost prohibitive
=FAIL
why do we keep promoting this silly ideas?
Add to the misery associated with confinement the additional pain of lower-body parts striking table parts, and this thing would be the next repurposed gift to be given away at Christmas. Sorry, this is an idea that fits the definition of "clever"... but totally impractical.
