This custom mid-century modern desk in Walnut is meant to hide a computer in a particular space the customer had allocated for it. MCM pieces are intended to be clean, with simple lines and minimal ornamentation. To reach that aesthetic, I used spindle legs, and used a long drawer to hide the computer pieces.

The drawer featured here is 32″ long, to accommodate the keyboard and mouse. To keep it ergonomically sound, the sides are very low, so that the customer isn’t reaching over a drawer lip to access the keyboard. To the right, the hanging drawer bank covers the top of the customer’s tower.

This customer had an existing desk with a formica top patterned in wood grain, much loved for many years, that had started to wear through. To fix this, I was commissioned to produce look-alike replacements for each unit in hardwood. In this case, to match the grain of some existing shelves that were installed after these pictures were taken, I used maple.

Who wouldn’t see themselves as the center in this solid Cherry executive desk? The customer wanted a clean and impressive half-circular desk. Three pedestal bases hold up the eight foot semicircular span.

The recessed fascia underneath the surface was a soak-and-bend to match the radius of the top. Behind the circular desk, the 8-foot wall hutch includes a lower bank of drawers and top cabinets to contain all of his office needs.

This home office is made out of solid cherry. The customer enjoys the combination of the very large work surface, an eight foot span of the desk top, and the functional storage of her complimenting credenza and printer stand.

This customer choose to combine Sombraje style, stained willow an salt cedar sticks, on the skirt of the desk, tri fold panel to hide the printer, and bi-fold doors on the credenza to compliment a traditional look.
