One of the problems I have when I park myself at my desk for work purposes is that, well, I sit at a desk all day and when I get home, the last thing I want to do is sit at another desk for a few extra hours. The ergonomics for someone over 6 feet tall at my day job are all wrong, so by the time I get home my back is complaining about the position I've been sitting in.
Since I don't have a laptop stand to pull to my couch, that means I'm forced to use my home desk. What I'd love is to use something like the Calypso chair. It's one of the most innovative and customizable pieces of furniture I've ever seen. It can transform from a love seat to two chairs, the arms fold down to get them out of the way or inward to turn into writing surfaces, and the whole thing folds in to transform into a coffee table with storage space underneath!
It's not ready for mass production yet, and there are still some issues to work out from an ergonomic standpoint, but that would be an awesome piece of furniture if you could get the design into the hands of a skilled manufacturing company. I really like the under-table storage shelf and the collapsible seating. I think that, as laptops and working from home become more common, that you're going to see a lot more furniture designed to incorporate laptops.
