Its drop-down front reveals a "step," a collection of small drawers and niches designed for surgical organization. Some models even concealed secrets: invisible drawers to the naked eye, activated by springs hidden under a molding. Also known as a "drop-front desk," it remains the ideal piece for discreetly concealing your workspace with a simple elegant gesture.
