the george nelson rolltop desk embodies the lightness and functional elegance of american mid-century design. With its clean lines, minimalist material palette, and signature roll-top closure, this workspace combines aesthetics and practicality in a timeless way. Beneath the roll-top is a slanted 117 x 51 cm formica work surface and a din a4 filing rail.

the finely ribbed roll-top cover, crafted from warm-toned walnut, closes effortlessly, transforming the desk in an instant from a functional workspace into a serene and uncluttered space. The slim metal frame underscores the modern character of the design and lends the piece an almost floating lightness.

the desk is complemented by the matching perch, a height-adjustable seat that deliberately positions itself between a stool and a chair. The perch promotes an upright, active posture and reflects nelson's approach of understanding design as a support for modern ways of working and living. The seat and cushions are upholstered in the original hopsack fabric, freshly cleaned, and reupholstered.

the rolltop desk with perch is not just a functional piece of furniture, but a thoughtful design statement—typical of george nelson's visionary contribution to modern design in the 20th century. This piece has an attribution mark,
