Our team replaced the original Naugahyde surface with genuine black leather. The Drexel Profile walnut and pecan K70 Desk is both a tank and a show pony. Finished on all sides, you can proudly display in the middle of your room. The two-tier architectural design provides additional concealed storage and a top surface ideal for computer screens.

Streamlined from top to bottom and minimally adorned with the distinct chrome pulls that make this line so memorable. The square, tapered legs are seamlessly incorporated into the cabinet using Scandinavian Modern design. There are no abrupt angles in Drexel Profile. The subtle, graceful curves add a touch of elegance to an otherwise masculine look. Not only do you get ample storage and surfaces, but the bottom left cabinet is also a file drawer with all the original dividers in tact.

Drexel Furniture's "Profile" line was designed by John van Koert and released in mid-1955. van Koert was already well-known at the time for designing Towle's "Contour" line of cutlery, as well as Drexel "Projection." He was also the director of "Design in Scandinavia," a traveling museum exhibition that went around the United States showcasing pieces from 1954-1957 and helped spark the US interest in Danish design. The extensive Profile group has great poise and although contemporary in spirit, is adaptable and answers the demand for furniture that neither fakes the spirit of a past style nor merely expresses a designer's whim.
