Executed in intricate straw marquetry, this desk draws direct inspiration from the iconic designs of Jean-Michel Frank — a pioneer of minimalist luxury whose work defined 1930s Parisian modernism. While not an original Frank piece, this desk was likely produced in the 1970s by a skilled artisan or workshop emulating his refined aesthetic. The complex marquetry technique, which involves hand-laying dyed straw in radiating patterns, results in a rich surface texture with iridescent depth. Elegant proportions, four streamlined drawers with brass pulls, and three original keys reflect a devotion to quiet sophistication. With its strong visual connection to Frank's timeless designs — often reinterpreted by contemporary designers such as Christian Liaigre and Hervé Van der Straeten — this piece is a collector-worthy homage to one of the most revered design vocabularies of the 20th century.
