About the Item

Executive desk designed by Jules Wabbes and manufactured by Mobilier Universel in the 1960s. This exclusive desk bears the hallmark of Jules Wabbes, a celebrated Belgian furniture designer and interior architect. Originally conceived for the Foncolin Building in 1958 by architects André Jacqmain and Jules Wabbes, this desk embodies four decades of history, its significance echoing through time. The Foncolin Building stood as a global milestone in the realm of concrete construction. The combination of the steel base and the wooden drawers and top creates a harmonious interplay between modernity and warmth, imbuing this desk with timeless charm.
