With its dark wood and green top, this vintage country-style desk adds a sober and refined touch to an interior. Its six drawers, complemented by a large drawer beneath the top, provide organized storage for papers, mail, and work accessories, while the height of the top is suitable for daily use in an office corner or a bedroom. The slender proportions of this wooden piece allow it to easily fit against a wall without weighing down the space. On the top, a lamp, a notebook, and a few address books create an elegant scene. A second-hand piece, it bears the marks of its past: a few traces of time. Length: 72 cm Width: 45 cm Height: 87 cm Seat height: 72 cm Drawer height: 6 cm A brief history of the desk It all begins with the "bure," a thick brown wool cloth 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 the secrétaire, it is defined by its wide fixed top and visible legs, offering a space for reflection without artifice. Also known as a "flat desk," it remains the centerpiece for anchoring a workspace with character.
