taking it back to the drawing board

Been recently reminiscing about my university days in design school. 

I remember when I sat at my dining table in my one bedroom flat, with a foldable drafting board that could sit right on the table. It was a little white PVC, A3 sized Steadler that I could carry around with me if I needed it. It served it's purpose, and really and truly in those days, I had more things to worry about than searching for the perfect looking drafting table.

What I would give to have one of these vintage ones now however. The ones with the iron cast legs are my favourite, and reminds me of the days when there was no CAD or any renderings programs, where architects and designers would sit at these tables drafting plans and details till all hours of the morning. Nowadays, it's sitting in front of the computer with one hand on the mouse drawing lines on CAD. But this doesn't stop me from wanting one of these gorgeous tables, after all, they can lay flat and I'm sure my computer would fit right in as it's perched on one of these beauties.
