Vitra Home Desk

At first glance, it is the colourful panels hidden within the Home desk that catch ones eye - ironic as they are the smallest feature of the design.Yet take another look at the swooping lines of the chrome feet mirrored by the classic walnut panelling along the sides.Created in 1958 by the legendary American designer George Nelson, this playful yet functional design epitomises his approach.Underneath those attractive lines and finishes sits a meticulously thought out update of the traditional bureau, complete with a raised shelf and divided compartments for storage.
