Locust desk by AROUNDtheTREE
About the Item
Locust desk designed by Alexandre Caldas to AROUNDtheTREE was created to be a memento to those, who by simple liberation, just have a go on doing things! The intrepid and the insatiable, who look forward to that blank page.
For those who have a report to do in the next hour or an architectural project for the next day, an equation to solve early in the morning, the last pages of a book or a simple email to write… For all those and more, we design a space that could make your work interesting.
When we thought of designing a working desk, it would not be good enough to just create a “new” desk. The LOCUST desk respects the principles of good design. It is environmentally friendly and seeks to solve and find solutions, that even you did not know you needed it.
The Locust desk is 99.9% made out of wood, that’s why we decided to make the drawer slides in solid wood as well. The slides are hand-made from SUCUPIRA, polished only with bee wax. They extend more than traditional slides.
In our design process, we find solutions that are not always obvious. For example, the LOCUST desk is higher in the back to allow a better ergonomic and comfortable position. It may not be perceptible at a first glance, but you will feel the relief after a few hours of work.
More than a desk, it is a piece of art!
