This perfectly executed design by high end furniture maker Gordon Russell combines grand scale with luxurious materials to create a desk of significant presence. A waterfall leather top surface sets the scene for a bold, refined desk with all the conveniences and space that a modern executive could need. Considered cabinetry details and spacious desk drawers offer plenty of storage, all beautifully crafted. To the front and back, the Wenge wood timber grain creates a mesmerising pattern detail with flat drawer fronts to give it full effect.

These substantial desks are exceedingly rare as they had a price tag of a similar magnitude. They were produced in small batches for large progressive corporate firms to create a statement office.
