Interestingly, the design of "The Bench" takes into consideration that everyone is not physically there every day. They can be away due to holiday, sickness, or even because they are having meetings in a room round the corner. And when that happens, the "legless" nature of the desk means you feel that you've got more space that you really have got. It's like the architectural trick we use often to make a space feel more generous by increasing the floor-to-ceiling height. Here, we are trying to maximise the benefit of absences to make your perceived desk space more generous.

During our 9 months experiment, this is perhaps biggest benefit that we felt.
