Desks
Developed for the purposes of reading and writing, desks were initially crafted with inclined platforms to aid the scribe as this furnishing was created prior to implementation of printing techniques. Following the advent of the printing press, desks evolved into a petite and portable version of its forerunner known as the desk box, a small box with a slanted lid that no longer required cumbersome supports. Ultimately, the desk box was fitted with legs, which was an essential development in the evolution of the modern desk.
