Solid Walnut and Burlwood Desk by Lou Hodges, California Design, 1970s

About the Item

Beautiful solid walnut and olive Burlwood desk designed by Lou Hodges for California Design Group, 1980 This uncommon desk is a perfect example when form meets function. The solid walnut front and top is rich in color while the backside of the privacy panel is a stunningly grained olive burl. The waterfall edges of the desk help soften a the tops larger surface. Some very minor surface and finish wear to the top. Still shows and functions very well.
