It was manufactured in the renowned Robert Slezák factory, one of the most significant producers of tubular steel furniture in Europe at the time. The frame is made of tubular chrome-plated steel, which has been professionally cleaned during restoration to regain its mirror-like luster and modern industrial character.

The wooden components are crafted from high-quality blockboard veneered in oak. The combination of oak wood and cool chrome creates a timeless aesthetic contrast, highly characteristic of the interwar avant-garde. During expert restoration, the original wood polish was sensitively revived, highlighting the deep and noble grain of the oak veneer. The desk is fully functional, with smooth-sliding drawers and a sturdy frame, ready for immediate use in a prestigious office or home studio.

Our professional refurbishing team in Czechia has fully restored it according to the original process.

The chrome parts have been cleaned and professionally restored.
