BH | Studio Falsterbo 63-Inch Rattan Pedestal Desk

Cane panels came into European furniture in the later seventeenth century, light and cool to the touch, and mid-century designers set woven panels into doors and drawer fronts to soften a solid piece. On a desk the weave keeps a working piece of furniture from looking like office equipment.

This is a full pedestal desk with storage at both ends. On the left a tall cabinet door, faced in natural rattan weave, closes over a concealed compartment; on the right are two drawers on full-extension glides, a shallow one for pens and chargers and a deep one for box files, notebooks and paper. In the centre a keyboard tray slides out beneath the top and slides back to clear the knee space. The top is rated to 200 lbs, enough for a large monitor, a laptop dock and a lamp. The body is sturdy engineered wood in a pale almond wood grain, with non-marking pads beneath the feet. Assembly is required.

At 63 inches wide it gives two monitors, or a laptop and a sketchbook, room side by side, so it suits a full home office, a study off the bedroom or a shared workspace in an apartment. Style it as a calm, natural workspace: a woven-seat chair or a cream upholstered one, a brass task lamp, a linen pinboard above and a trailing pothos on the corner. This listing is for one desk.
