The Luna Desk by Pininfarina
If – and we'll stress the word "if" – you've spent a couple hundred grand for a beautifully-crafted Pininfarina-designed work of functional aluminum art to sit parked outside your office, what's another thirteen grand for one to sit in your office?
The Pininfarina Luna Desk has a base from varnished aluminum and is topped with a curved tempered glass surface. It's available in either black or red leather trim. At $12,885, it's not cheap, but it's bound to look equally impressive in your office or on the command deck of your intergalactic space ship.

Hey, not all modern desks have to be that expensive. They can still be odd looking though.

Hmmm, I'm sure I could rig up something much cheaper from a Ferrari 308 fender and a piece of car window glass, and get the same reaction.

.....for $12,885? what the hell?
I could buy me one very similar to that for $300. It's nothing but glass and metal. It's not like it could.... drive me to work like my used car does.
For $12,885? Are they mentally retarded?

It doesn't look very comfortable or practical. If I have to sit at a desk all day function become a priority over form for me.

Went out to dinner last night. On the way home, my eye was caught by a price tag in the window of a furniture store. I thought there was no way they could actually be asking $3700 for the lamp it was attached to, it had to be for the entire showroom set, right? Then I noticed every other article in the display had its own pricetag... the CHEAPEST was $2400 for an endtable. The (canvas) couch was $5900. What the hell is happening to the world? Who buys this crap?
Anyway, my point is that now that my point of view has been raised (again) to ever-more-unrealistic plateaus, I can easily see how a big-name design company could charge something like this for a table. I wonder how resale value is on these things though ;)

If they throw in a large touch screen with controls to the weapons array and shields, I'll but it.

Umm, yea, that would stay clean for all of 3 minutes before it looked like hell from all the finger and hand prints.

Now all you need is one of those fake computers, and some fake books in the bookshelves... can't they dress up a photo shoot?
