About the Item
Artist/Designer; Manufacturer: Jean-Michel Frank, manner of
Marking(s); notes: no marking(s) apparent
Country of origin; materials: wood, straw marquetry, brass
Dimensions (H, W, D): 30.5"h, 55.25"w, 31.5"d
Additional Information: The desk has four drawers and three keys.
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.
