Office/Computer Desk Designed

This redwood burl slab desk was designed around
the free form shape of the highly figured burl slab. It measures
approximately 80" x 42" x 30". The curly maple
was selected to add a lighter feel to the rich red color of the
slab.
The desk has five sides and a different focal point
of interest depending on the angle of view. The curved lines and
unobstructed form is maintained by placing the CPU on a shelf
underneath and all components and the printer on rollouts behind
a door.
The front panel has a cascading face broken by the
highly figured redwood burl which gives a dimensional view and
the feeling of a hidden core or layering.
The curved sides maintain the same flow as the redwood burl
slab top. Some of the very interesting design challenges to this
desk were to hide the client's hardware while maintaining the
overall shape and feel of a free form slab. I did not want a boxy
or straight retangular base that would interfer with the lines
of the beautiful slab that the client had selected.
