Attractive teak / black writing desk designed and produced in the Netherlands by Pastoe or Tijsseling.
The golden brown teak veneer, the rectangular shapes and the asymmetrical accent gives this desk all the mid-century hallmarks. The characteristic hairpin-legs gives a floating appearance to the top and drawer box.
Very minimal, but still quite a large top to work at, and the 3 drawers offers a lot of space too.

The forward-thinking designs by Dutch furniture companies such as Pastoe, Tijsseling, Fristho and Propos paved the way for success from the fifties. Many young Dutch designers went to the US to study design and production processes at the time and their designs clearly are inspired by the work of Eames and Knoll. Braakman and Pastoe introduced the bent plywood techniques into their first line of modern furniture.
