Important Desk by Brunce Burdick (1933-2021) for Herman Miller Editor
About the Item
Large corner desk in lacquered metal, aluminum, glass and black plastic, comprising two glass tops, one round, the other rectangular, fitted with a pedestal with two drawers and shelves of various shapes, resting on three profiled legs.
Bruce Burdick (1933-2021) born and raised in California, a graduate of USC, he collaborated with Charles and Ray Eames at the Eames Office, then with publisher Herman Miller to create the Burdick Group system, of which our desk is the most emblematic, is a unique assembly of work surfaces, document management systems, storage elements and electronic equipment supports. These components are integrated along the structural framework in any configuration to meet the needs of the most varied workspaces.
The system is modular in size and configuration, and can evolve to keep pace with changing work patterns. In 1980, the Burdick Group system received design awards from the Institute of Business Designers and the Industrial Designers Society of America. The following year, Time Magazine named the Burdick Group system one of the "Best of 1981" in the Industrial Design category. According to Time, it was one of the first flexible office furniture systems to integrate computer workstations and other office electronics.

Rolltop Desk after Jean-Henri Riesener Attributed to Maison Beurdeley
By Maison Beurdeley
Located in Paris, FR
Remarkable Louis XVI style rolltop writing desk with marquetry latticework pattern. The front of the desk features six drawers. The rolling cover is embellished with a beautiful marquetry medallion surrounded by ormolu garlands. It opens to reveal six small drawers and an extendible writing surface covered with brown leather and framed with gold-colored motifs. The central drawer under the cover has a secret opening underneath, that can be opened by pressing a button. The top of the desk is bordered with an openwork frame. The sculpted, gilt bronze ornamentation features a bas-relief frieze of cupids playing and an allegory of Sculpture. The desk is set on four tapered legs.
Attributed to Beurdeley, one of the most important dynasties of furniture makers in the 19th century (1818-1895), particularly famous for the quality of their gilded bronze frames and the choice of precious materials for the ornamentation of their furniture and objets d'art. This piece was created in the 19th century after a rolltop desk delivered on December 21, 1784 by Jean Henri Reisener...
