Let’s be honest—everyone wants a better desk setup. Whether you’re a creator, gamer, coder, or just someone who appreciates a clean workspace, the World Desk Setup Festival is where the world’s best come to play. Hosted by Hexcal, WDSF2025 is putting the spotlight on 50 finalist setups from all corners of the internet. From Los Angeles to Italy, these aren’t your average desks.

They’re productivity stations turned into personalized art forms.

With two major awards on the line—Desk Setup of the Year and The People’s Favorite—this festival isn’t just eye candy. It’s a global vote of what makes a workspace truly great. Voting runs through May 30, and the winners will be revealed in early June. That means now’s your chance to check out some wild setups and make your opinion count.

At a glance:

  • 50 setups from creators, developers, and designers are now live at Hexcal’s festival site
  • You vote by liking your favorite desk—simple and open till May 30
  • Winners announced early June, one by expert panel and one by public choice

Why It’s More Than Just A Pretty Desk

Sure, aesthetics matter—but there’s more to these setups than clean cable management and LED lighting.

Finalists include folks like Vel Oliver, who went from engineer to creative entrepreneur, and Kamilo Echeverry, who blends music production with visual art. You’ll also find setups from frontend developers like Omar Dakelbab, and digital educators like Jonathan Winbush.

Each entry is a snapshot of how people work and create today. Whether it’s a cozy studio apartment in Austria or a dual-monitor beast built for gaming and editing, there’s a wide range of setups to dig into. The variety also reflects just how much desk culture has evolved. This isn’t about minimalism vs maximalism—it’s about purpose and personality.
