Architectural 'Forme Libre' Writing Desk in Solid Pine , France, 1960s

$9,850
Description

This one-off solid pine writing desk was made in France in the 1960s and originates from the home of an architect in Hirson, Picardy. The desk features a boomerang-shaped top with a soft, curved profile, referencing the forme libre approach associated with Charlotte Perriand.


The curved solid wood legs show the organic construction and material-driven design language seen in the work of Pierre Chapo. Crafted entirely from solid pine, the natural wood grain remains visible throughout.


Designed as a functional writing or drawing desk, this piece reflects French mid-century modern design, combining architectural clarity with artisanal woodworking traditions.

The top of the writing desks features some dents and scratches, which indicates it's been strongly used. Overall in good condition with age related wear.
