1968 Executive Desk
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.

Modernist Desk by Frits Spanjaard, Wouda Inspired, Netherlands, 1930s
Located in Antwerp, BE
Modernist Desk; Frits Spanjaard; The Netherlands; Holland; circa 1930; Hendirk Wouda; Pander; Haagse School; The Hague School; Writing Desk; Wood; Geometric Composition;
Frits Spanjaard, influenced by Hendrik Wouda, designed balanced and simple pieces of furniture. His unique abstract style and refined use of composition, set him apart from other rationalist designers from The Hague School. The use of primary colours is a direct reference to De Stijl. Throughout his career Spanjaard, played with the application of colour, searching for contrast and dialogue between shapes. This table, together with the matching chair, are a fine example of this design attitude.
It was part of the Exhibition "De Klare Lijn" curated by Boris Devis...
