With its slender tapered legs and Scandinavian style, this second-hand light wood desk brings a contemporary and measured touch to a workspace. Its surface provides a pleasant area for writing, placing a computer, or organizing some files, while the star keys highlight a detail of craftsmanship that is full of precision. With easy-to-live proportions, it fits into an office as well as a bedroom and allows light to circulate around it. Pair it with a leather chair and a metal desk lamp, then add a notebook and a few books to create a neat and warm work corner. Some normal signs of usage for its era. Length: 130 cm Width: 57 cm Height: 75 cm Drawer height: 65 cm A brief history of the desk It all begins with the "bure," a thick brown wool cloth that covered the tables of copying 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 secretary, 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 focal point for anchoring a workspace with character.
