Burlwood 3-Drawer Desk by Hekman

Creator: Hekman Furniture Company
Offered by: Object Refinery

Description
The home office is an essential space where one seeks refuge to delve into their work and passions. At the center is almost always a desk, one to accommodate a myriad of tasks, duties, and accouterments alike. We think simplicity is the best motto when choosing a desk so as to not interfere with one’s work. This can certainly be said of the shown handsome burlwood desk by Hekman Furniture.

Hekman was undoubtedly inspired by the work of the great Milo Baughman. His use of high-fashion materials such as burlwood was unnaparelled and with compliments to Hekman, they utilized it incredibly well on their desk. They chose to employ a parsons design with recessed drawers beneath the desktop. With a central personal drawer and two neighboring task drawers, those who choose to make this desk the center of their office are equipped with ample storage space. The drawers, paired with the generous surface space, make Hekman’s desk one to be greatly desired.

This desk remains in its original finish and condition. Wear exists throughout the piece from age and history. With respect to the finish and the nuanced grain of the burlwood our team has done touch ups where necessary. With this piece one should expect strong structural integrity, a desk ready for another lifetime’s worth of use.
