By extension, the table itself eventually took on the name of the fabric that covered it: the desk. Unlike the secretary, it is defined by its wide fixed top and visible legs, offering a space for reflection without artifice. Also called a "flat desk," it remains the centerpiece for anchoring a workspace with character.
