    There are a few different types of hidden desks in furniture design, but the most common one is called a murphy desk. A murphy desk uses hinges to fold up the desk into a hideaway position, giving a smaller space more functionality. Shop a collection of desks from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
