The design reflects Van Koert’s architectural approach to modern furniture, emphasizing clarity of form and functional elegance.

Crafted in walnut, the desk features a broad writing surface paired with a raised back organizer that includes open cubbies and vertical file slots. This integrated hutch element provides practical storage while preserving a clean, horizontal profile.

On the left, a three-drawer stack offers ample concealed storage, balanced by a shallow center drawer beneath the writing surface. Sculpted drawer pulls maintain the minimalist aesthetic characteristic of the Profile line.

Tapered legs and a subtle stretcher lend the desk a light, elevated stance, allowing it to sit comfortably in both open-plan and traditional rooms.

A classic example of American mid-century modern design, combining thoughtful utility with refined proportions.
