Crafted in maple, the desk features a refined knife-edge top, tapered legs, and original black conical pulls that contribute to its understated modern aesthetic. The double pedestal design incorporates five drawers, providing generous storage while maintaining a visually light and architectural appearance.

The warm maple finish highlights the natural beauty of the wood grain, while the finished rear allows the desk to float within a room, making it equally suitable for a home office, executive workspace, design studio, or collector-focused interior.

Professionally refreshed while preserving its original character. Clean, structurally sound, and ready for everyday use.

A timeless example of American mid-century modern design from Paul McCobb’s celebrated Planner Group collection.

Please note: The desk is currently unmarked, and no original manufacturer’s label or paper tag is present. Attribution is based on design characteristics, construction details, materials, proportions, hardware, and comparison to documented examples from the Planner Group collection.
