This auto-inspired desk costs more than your car


If you're in the market for a new computer desk, but want to skip the standard fare at stores like Staples and Office Depot, perhaps you'd be interested in this limited-edition superdesk inspired by carmaker Bugatti — the French auto brand responsible for the Veyron, a $1.4 million street-legal race car. The opulent desk is built by luxury furniture brand Luzzo, and carries a slightly more affordable (but still ridiculously huge) $240,000 price tag.
The desk is inspired by the entire history of the car brand and includes several nods to classic Bugatti vehicles. An all-aluminum frame, self-closing drawers, and a retractable monitor are standard features, while the blue color scheme hearkens back to the Bugatti Type 35 Grand Prix racer, one of the most recognizable cars in the brand's history.
Included in the lofty price is a new Apple iMac, which is wired into the desk's frame to allow the entire unit to be withdrawn when not in use. Just 10 of the desks will be constructed, and each will include its own numbered nameplate and construction history, including every member of the build team. So if you've got your pennies saved, grab them, then take out a second mortgage on your home, sell the rest of your possessions, and then (maybe) place your order.
