The desk combines a minimalist chrome-plated steel frame with a clear glass top and storage elements, resulting in a form that is both visually light and architecturally precise.

Its geometric composition — a thoughtful interplay of triangles and rectangles — emphasizes proportion and transparency. The use of glass allows the desk to integrate seamlessly into its surroundings, reflecting light and offering unobstructed views of the space around it.
