Burlwood & Chrome Executive Desk by Eppinger

Creator: Eppinger
Offered by: Object Refinery

Description
Good design provides function with excellent form. This was a quality which threaded together most designs of the Mid-Century Modern design movement. Gone were the decorative styles of a former time, making way for elegant simplicity in the home. Countless designers such as Florence Knoll, Milo Baughman, and many more designed furniture which served a purpose while using exotic and timeless materials, such is true with this vintage custom built desk designed by Eppinger New York.

Eppinger was undoubtedly inspired by the work of the great Milo Baughman. He utilized high-fashion materials such as burlwood and chrome in countless designs and Eppinger followed suit, executing the aesthetic incredibly well. Gorgeous book matched burlwood veneer faces every inch of this desk, inside as well as out. Even the piece’s back is finished with burlwood allowing for it to stand anywhere in the room. Two drawers, a file drawer, and two returns allow for ample storage. The piece extends itself outward into the room, cantilevering its burlwood far beyond the sleek chrome base.

This Eppinger desk remains in its original condition and has received a thorough polish by the Object Refinery team. Occurrences of wear are consistent with age and history as expected, no existing wear detracts from the presence of this piece or its functionality. Please contact us for a thorough condition report. Also available is a matching Burlwood Credenza also manufactured by Eppinger, please view our separate listing.
