The London "I" - An Executive Desk

About the Item

The London "I" was our first significant international commission. Destined for a historic apartment in the UK, it now stands overlooking The Thames and The London Eye. A view most any desk would be proud to make its own! A personal office desk suited for a discerning individual. The integrated power solutions ensure that the piece is not only functional as a furniture item, but also well suited in a fast paced/tech-centered world. The power units are modular and can be assembled in the factory according to the users requirements. The cabling runs concealed within the hollow steel leg, an invaluable design detail in the pursuit of efficiency and excellence. Inspired by Nakashima, the design is a multi-lingual effort, utilizing steel for structural strength and Walnut for a striking, sensuous contrast. The result is a distinctive piece that stands out in any workspace, complemented by its iconic surroundings. Our dedicated and experienced team are readily available to consult on customization options.

  • 1968 Executive Desk
    By Warren Platner
    Located in Hanover, MA
    Executive desk formerly belonging to noted architect George M. Notter, (1933–2007) of the Boston firm Anderson Notter Finegold (now known as Finegold Alexander Architects). Current institutional memory at the firm suggests it was a special order from Herman Miller for the then new New York offices of MGM, however Herman Miller's archivist was unable to confirm. Styling, particularly the distinctive slim milled aluminum tracks through which the entire drawer carriage glides is clearly similar to Warren Platner's designs for Lehigh-Leopold which were then among the most costly of executive office furnishings. The bent flat bar chromed steel base with its distinctive pigeon toe splay is somewhat similar to a table base in Stow Davis' Electa Series, designed by Alexis Yermakov circa 1971. Walnut laminate top is very clean with no issues. One one corner edge shows a small separation. The only identifying markings are within the milled aluminum channel: G.P. F.I. 2 And the date Dec. 20, 1968. See image 18. Between the rectangular laminate top and the chrome base is a heavy blackened steel plate. Underneath the bent chrome pigeon toe feet are bars of a thick phenolic material which act as floor protector. We can have keys made to fit the two locking drawers. Tim Anderson...
