About the Item

A beautifully conceived room divider with integrated desk from the 1970s, designed by Stewart MacDougall. Crafted in a harmonious blend of birch, warm walnut, vibrant Formica, and sleek brushed metal, it offers a sophisticated, multi-functional solution for delineating spaces and enhancing utility. This versatile unit features multiple open shelves, practical storage cabinets with smoothly operating upper sliding doors, and a distinctive little yellow ball accent. It includes a series of drawers for organized storage. The integrated desk, measuring 36" W x 23.75" D x 28.5" H, offers a dedicated workspace, seamlessly blending into the overall design. In original condition, this substantial piece displays visible wear consistent with its age and use, including some charming chipping to the paint. Despite minor signs of a well-lived history, its adaptable design and striking material palette make it an ideal centerpiece for contemporary open-plan living, a stylish home office, or any space desiring intelligent, mid-century functionality. More to the Story.. Stewart MacDougall (1910-1996) was a significant American industrial designer known for his prolific work in furniture and lighting throughout the mid to late 20th century. While he gained early prominence through his collaboration with Paul McCobb, co-founding Directional Furniture in the mid-1950s, MacDougall continued to evolve his distinct style. His designs consistently championed clean lines, functionalism, and a sophisticated integration of diverse materials. This room divider with an integrated desk perfectly exemplifies his dedication to adaptable, space-saving solutions for modern living, a hallmark of American modernism as homes embraced more open-plan layouts. His pieces, like this one, represent a commitment to bringing well-designed, high-utility furniture to the discerning modern consumer.
