Zakaria Abdul Hafiz said the furniture is primarily a cabinet, however, it could also serve as a study desk and as a dressing desk with a mirror.

Designed like a mini fridge, the study desk could also be expanded further by pulling a handle from the right side.

The chair, which is perfectly placed inside the desk, could also be turned into a storage box when its black leather seat is lifted.

Speaking to YEN.com.gh, Zakaria Abdul Hafiz, said he was encouraged and supported by the headmaster of his school to design the desk.

"I made this creative decision because the principal of the school said to the school that every department should come out with a Unique new project," he said.

The Dabokpa Technical Institute, located in Tamale, the capital of the Northern Region of Ghana, is noted for churning out technically gifted students.
