Meet Bou London
Luxury hideaway desk
Bou hideaway desks are designed to keep your work and living space effortlessly organised. If you find it difficult to separate your career from your home life, our hideaway desks are perfect for you.
Our desks are compact in size, only measuring the length of a shoe box when folded. But they offer enough space when open to hold a full-size monitor (or two!) and all your work equipment.
At the end of the day, it’s easy to close the desktop and keep work out of sight, out of mind.
We offer two sizes of our hideaway desks: The FOLD Maxi at 135cm wide and the FOLD Mini at 100cm wide, both folding away to elegant 80cm cabinet.

If you like mid-century elegance, you’ll love our FOLD range. Inside the beautifully simple exterior, you’ll find a trove of delightful features.
- Unique wood grains and routed handles
- Handcrafted brass catches and maker’s mark
- Unique ‘SOSS’ hinges, snugly machined into the desk’s powder-coated framework
- Brass strike plates, nestled flush within the side of the desktop
- Delicate brass locking-pins and feet on the folding legs
Our desks are designed to be:
- Practical yet subtle and attractive
- Detail driven, with fully-thought out designs
Use for storing drinks, as a bureau or dressing table. You could dismiss a FOLD desk for a sideboard, but if you stop a while, you’ll see all the unique handcrafted features.
Each carefully designed part comes together to create a simple, elegant exterior. As seen in the press!

Beauty in simplicity
joy in details and practicality
We wanted to balance functionality with appearance when designing the Bou hideaway desk. Our end result was a desk that is comfortable to use, yet looks timeless and can be passed down to generations to come.
We’re different to our competitors:
- Single desktop surface that you can lean on, with no rickety joins
- Space for your knees and feet to stretch out
- Ventilated space that can house a computer tower
- Cable storage
- Fully closing doors to hide work away when you need to
- A lock that keeps little hands safely away
