Designer: Factory Design Year: around 1965 Manufacturer: unknown manufacturer of architect`s furniture Country: Germany Measurements: H 72 cm W 180/219 cm D 90/167 cm Material: Plywood covered with light and dark gray formica, square steel tube painted gray, top tilting mechanism. Condition: good original condition Special Remarks: with slight signs of wear. This unusual architectural piece of furniture is simply color coordinated in shades of gray. Thanks to its robust construction, the plate can be tilted steplessly up to a maximum of approx. 15 degrees in order to make it easier to draw the plans. All surfaces are covered with robust formica, which has withstood almost 60 years quite well, only the plate shows some discoloration and scratches. The sloping front of the drawers with an invisible handle bar from below is remarkable.

This extremely practical angled desk with a drawing function when the top is tilted comes from a well-known Berlin architect's household. The sideboard attached to the left offers storage space both inside and outside with a sliding door. In addition, the surface of the sideboard can serve as a shelf. The overall impression of the station wagon is very good, the functions are given and the hard-wearing Formica has only a slight patina of age. If necessary, a plan cupboard in a matching color can be purchased from the same household. It must be emphasized that such well-preserved writing and drawing furniture from this time in a tasteful design and high-quality design is very rarely offered. See less
