French Art-Deco Executive Desk in High-Gloss Macassar Ebony & Brass
About the Item
French Art-Deco design is often considered the epitome of luxury and refined aesthetic. Typically proportionally perfect and materially exquisite, pieces of French design from this era remain highly sought after even to this day.
This Executive Desk was crafted from exotic Macassar Ebony wood, a species with zebra-like grain and rosewood in color. Our team restored this piece’s original high gloss finish to perfection, leaving every angle a pleasure to look at. We also maintained the black-painted accents which contrast the Macassar Ebony beautifully. On each cabinet door are un-lacquered solid brass pulls, substantial in form, and are the perfect complement to the timelessness of this Art-Deco masterpiece. Each corner of the desk is rounded which softens its overall presence with each side of the desk rises ever so slightly above the desktop. Each cabinet door interior is an incredible inlaid oak; the left cabinet contains three generous drawers, and the right offers two equally generous returns. Lastly, the desk contains a sizable center drawer, making the storage in this piece ample.
Our team took great pleasure in returning this piece of French Art-Deco Design to its original intended brilliance. The desk has a substantial presence but it is in fact quite delicately proportioned. As all sides of the piece are finished, this desk would look wonderful in absolutely any environment, and in any position.

Otto Zapf Executive Chairs in Original Saddle Brown Leather by Knoll
By Knoll, Otto Zapf
Located in Stamford, CT
Otto Zapf, a distinguished German product designer, embarked on his career in his homeland, driven by an enduring passion for flexibility and human-centered design. By the time he joined forces with Knoll in 1973, Zapf was already an accomplished designer, and his transition was as seamless as the furniture he would go on to create for the iconic brand. Marrying a distinctly German design philosophy centered on systems with a deep commitment to humanism and ease of use, Zapf crafted pieces that were as functional as they were inviting. His Softline System, a modular office storage suite, epitomized this approach by combining rigid frames with soft, attachable fabric surfaces. This design ethos found further expression in his Executive Seating Collection, where soft, upholstered pads mounted onto spring steel frames resulted in a creation unmistakably true to Zapf’s vision.
Zapf's commitment to "friendly design" is evident in every aspect of his Executive Seating Collection. He masterfully balanced the demands of comfort and ergonomics, crafting a chair that not only looks inviting but also offers unparalleled functionality—a hallmark of Knoll’s design philosophy. The innovative cushion system, a key feature of this chair, reflects Zapf's dedication to adaptability and ease of maintenance. Each of the five independent cushions can be effortlessly removed for repair or replacement, ensuring the chair’s longevity. The back cushions glide smoothly along dual rails of spring steel, adjusting to the user's preferred reclining position with natural ease. The result is a chair that not only welcomes but also adapts to the user, embodying the very essence of Zapf's design principles.
This particular chair is no longer in production, making it highly sought after, especially when presented in the timeless Saddle Brown leather as shown. We currently have six of Otto Zapf’s Executive Chairs...
