I mean, maybe you should not? The desk does not pertain that idea either. Nor does the monitor frame or laptop frame. It also does not fit in dynamic desks which are common these days. To me, the concrete laptop stands out too much in the office picture compared to the desk.
replyI am reminded by Mathilde µP's 'stone age computer' [1] which gave people a terminal in summer 1993 (at HeU 93 hacker conference) at a time where terminal access was more sparse. It served a purpose and gave a real feel through interfacing, but not ergonomic.
My smartphones have leather cases (not fake leather, real) and this gets interesting results with regards to scratches, grease and other wear and tear. My laptop case has the same (again: not fake leather, real). I could keep the laptop in the case if I use a hub to connect it. The heat goes up, and peripherals can connect. Put that in a vertical case and it fits in the shown office environment. Another option could be a wooden case for the laptop; these exist.
