American red oak

EASD Escola d'Art i Superior de Disseny de València

With his spare time spent painting and parenting, Jonathan wanted to design a piece of furniture that was aesthetically pleasing, multi-functional and a calm space to take time for creativity and family. The elegant desk has two lids, each opening in a different direction, which transforms the piece into two easels with storage space underneath, and a cleverly hidden easel tray in the drawer handle. Dovetail joints hold together the drawer sides and the curved edges are achieved through thin layers of veneer. Jonathan chose American red oak for its colour, which can vary from light reddish brown to a pale biscuit, and its vibrant grain texture.
