Galaxy Writing Desk in Cream Shagreen and Bronze-Patina Brass by Kifu Paris

About the Item

The Paris based label has distinguished themselves since their launch, with their iconic use of shagreen mixed with brass and other exotic materials. All furniture is handcrafted by skilled artisans, ultimately making each piece unique, designed in Paris and produced in the Philippines. The Galaxy writing desk in cream shagreen, is a classic and sculptural piece with its beautifully shaped bronze-patina brass legs. This piece has three wood-veneer drawers, add a mirror and this desk becomes a vanity. The shagreen is hand-dyed by artisans and the designer calls the final finish “Antique Natural” shagreen. This piece is designed by Kifu Augousti, the daughter of Ria and Yiouri Augousti. Add the matching stool to complete the look, image at end of slide, The dimensions of these pieces are: 130 x 50 x 75 cm / 51 x 19.75 x 29.5” All Kifu Paris pieces are handmade by artisans, ultimately making each piece unique. Custom color or sizing available on request. Wipe clean with soft dry cloth. Although inspired by her parents, her collection of home accessories and furniture is a distinct identity of its own. Kifu uses handmade techniques of elaborate inlay patterns of shagreen, shells, semi-precious stones, materials she experienced as a child growing up in her parent’s studio, but interpreted in a younger quirkier way reflecting her youth. From her "jewelry inspired knobs" on decorative boxes, gold bar boxes and an extravagant inlay pattern mix of shagreen and shell inspired by galactic constellations, as seen on her enormous round mirror, is refreshing to see. Kifu embodies whimsical elements throughout her collection and is not afraid to be daring and unexpected in her approach to design. All shagreen-covered items should be kept out of direct sunlight, color variants may occur on the stingray and other exotic finishes, but this showcases the Parisian label's commitment to creating authentic luxurious products using natural components.
