This Japanese desk dates from the Shōwa period (1926–1989), a time of major social and industrial change in Japan. Furniture from this era is known for its balance between restrained design and everyday practicality, created to be used, not just displayed.
The piece is made from a combination of Japanese oak (Quercus spp.) and Japanese ash (Fraxinus mandshurica var. japonica), with structural elements in Shorea (Shorea spp.) and plywood, materials commonly used during the Shōwa period for their strength and stability. The result is a desk that feels solid, well built and visually calm.
Its layout is simple and efficient, with two upper drawers and a side storage unit that keeps the workspace organized without feeling heavy. Integrated wooden pulls reinforce the clean and honest character of the design. The wood shows a natural patina with subtle tonal variations that add warmth and depth.
A functional desk with a quiet presence, ideal for home offices, studios or contemporary interiors that appreciate quality materials and thoughtful design.
The state of conservation is optimal, except for the characteristic imperfections of any antique produced by the passage of time.
Give a point of originality to your home with a unique piece, which merges with the contemporary style bringing personality to your home. This antique Japanese desk can be combined with any of our chairs or with our available antique cabinets.
