Writing desk, Wilton Crescent

We designed this writing desk for a client’s home in West London. The piece is made from spalted beech, a rare and unique timber a timber with intricate marbling caused by fungi penetrating the wood as it ages. The desk features a central drawer for storing essentials, traditionally crafted with hand-cut dovetails and hardware-free runners.

The timber was sourced locally, giving new life to trees felled in London as a result of urban development.
