Glissade

An elegant, graceful writing desk in light rippled ash wood and olive ash legs, whose entire top slides sideways to reveal a hidden well, lined with parchment-coloured Moroccan leather. Atop the desk sits a scarlet red lacquer pen box, covered by an extension of rippled ash.

Glissade is a tribute to 18th century cabinet makers who used writing desks to display the refinement of their skills. The careful matching of the grain shows a balance and consistency of tone, which is only matched by the soft curves flowing in and out of the top, both just as delicate to attain.

Glissade is also available in 5,000 year old Bog Oak and Chinese yellow lacquer.
