Crafted in beautifully grained teak, the desk features a refined rectangular top, two suspended cabinets with three drawers each, and distinctive recessed wooden handles.

Its most remarkable feature is the sculptural construction of the legs. Their unusual open triangular form creates a striking architectural silhouette, giving the desk an exceptional sense of lightness and balance.

The desk has undergone comprehensive professional restoration in our OloSell Restore workshop. Its wooden surfaces have been carefully refinished and hand-finished with hardwax oil, enhancing the natural warmth and depth of the teak.
