The golden brown teak veneer, the rectangular shapes and the black accents gives this desk all the mid-century hallmarks. The characteristic black metal hairpin legs give a floating appearance to the top and drawer box. Very minimal looking, but still quite a large top to work at, and the 2 pull out shelfs offers lot of storage space. The forward-thinking of Dutch designers such as Cees Braakman paved the way of success for a number of Dutch furniture companies. Clearly inspired by designs of Eames, Knoll and Danish furniture makers, Pastoe, Fristho, Tijsseling and many others introduced the use of prefab board into their first line of modern furniture. This modest sized desk would make a great addition Dutch and Danish design furniture by Spectrum, Wegner or Mogensen. The compact design and the material evokes a warm atmosphere. Great ready for use condition, all is checked and solid and a minimal of usermarks.
