Its drop leaf reveals a "step," a collection of small drawers and niches designed for surgical organization. Some models even hid secrets: invisible drawers to the naked eye, activated by springs concealed beneath a molding. Also known as a "drop-leaf desk," it remains the ideal piece to elegantly conceal your workspace with a simple gesture.
