About this product
Yakka Desk — A Joyfully Functional Desk Designed for Growing Minds
The Yakka Desk is a robust, purpose-built solution for senior school classrooms — designed to support flexible learning, collaboration, and student independence. Part of the Learn by Koskela collection, Yakka is joyfully different from standard classroom furniture — combining movement, modularity, and biophilic design principles to create spaces that nurture curiosity and self-directed learning.
Inspired by the Yuggera word “Yakka” (meaning “work”), the desk is built to handle the rigours of daily classroom use with warmth, playfulness, and flexibility.

Supports First Nations peoples and communities
Koskela is deeply committed to reconciling with our First Nations history and cultures.
One of the ways we do this is to create income earning opportunities for First Nations artists and makers through collaborative design projects. This generates an income independent of Government, helping artists to continue to live a life they have chosen to lead and maintain their traditional practices. It also facilitates artists to access markets outside the traditional art markets, enabling them to tell their stories and showcase their cultures to a broader audience.
