Length: 128 cm Width: 70 cm Height: 77 cm A brief history of the desk It all begins with the "bure," a thick brown wool fabric that covered the tables of copyist monks to protect their precious manuscripts. By extension, the table itself eventually took on the name of the fabric that covered it: the desk. Unlike a secretary, it is defined by its large fixed top and exposed legs, offering a space for reflection without artifice. Also known as a "flat desk," it remains the centerpiece to anchor a workspace with character.
