What are the origins and evolution of the modern desk? Why is it important?
Actually, the Latin word desca means “a table you can write on” and the word desk was first used in the middle of 14th century. People didn’t use the term “desks” much in the middle ages because the majority of people lived on the land. Only clergy and legal professionals were able to write.
The term desk became a common term by the end of the 18th century. It was becoming more commonplace in work places, and also in homes. As the head of the household, their desk would be used to perform administrative tasks such as writing letters or preparing accounts.
However, desks didn’t come from one source. Some companies made writing tables, called scriptors. They had a panel that could be folded down to create a writing surface. Some were more like cabinets, which we may call a French bureau today.
Almost all of these items were almost identical by the turn of the 19th century. Very few people could distinguish between them. Some of the items had drawers beneath for papers while others were on legs that gave users space to place their feet.
Desk management became increasingly important as the demands of commerce and enterprise increased. People required office spaces that allowed them to work efficiently and gave them the organization they wanted. It was hard to find solutions that worked. Before the advent of the PC, manufacturers were limited to offering extra drawers.
National Clean Your Desk Day is a fitting fit for today’s workplace culture. Studies show that clean desks lead to more productivity and less stress. This helps to support well-being and makes long hours in the office easier.
