The writing desk offered here is from the ‘Modern Art Series’ by William Watting, and reflects the Danish style of the 1960s. The design is clearly influenced by the ‘boomerang’ desks by a.o. Lovig Nielsen, but thanks to the leg structure and subtle drawer box the Fristho desk has a much more minimal, floating appearance. Rare piece!
Great condition, working lock in the top drawer.
