This striking German Bauhaus writing desk from around 1925 exemplifies the radical functional clarity that defined early modernist design. Executed in black lacquered metal, the desk features a rigorously geometric construction, emphasizing durability, utility, and visual restraint. The wide rectangular work surface rests on two solid pedestal units, each fitted with smoothly operating drawers accented by streamlined metal pulls. The minimalist form rejects ornament in favor of proportion and material honesty, reflecting the Bauhaus ideal of uniting art, craft, and industry. The contrast between the matte black lacquer and the subtly industrial metal detailing lends the piece a powerful architectural presence. Designed for efficiency and longevity, this desk would have originally served a professional or administrative setting. Today, it stands as a rare and highly collectible example of early Bauhaus furniture—perfect for a modern interior seeking authenticity, historical depth, and timeless design discipline.
A unique piece which is a great eye-catcher for your antique, modern, space age or mid-century interior.
