About the Item
This striking executive desk was designed by Theo Tempelman for AP Originals in the Netherlands, 1960. A refined example of Dutch mid-century design, the piece combines clean architectural lines with practical functionality. The large rectangular top is crafted from black-lacquered beechwood, resting elegantly on a chrome-plated metal frame that emphasizes both structural clarity and visual lightness.
The desk comes complete with a matching mobile storage unit on wheels, featuring three drawers and a hinged compartment, providing flexible and generous storage for documents, office supplies, or personal effects. The mobility of the unit adds to the desk’s versatility, allowing for customized configurations based on workspace needs.
With its bold contrast of black wood against polished chrome, this desk reflects the modernist spirit of 1960s European design. Ideal for a home office, studio, or executive setting, it is not only a highly functional workstation but also a collectible piece of postwar design heritage.
The desk is in very good original condition, showcasing Tempelman's distinctive blend of minimalism, utility, and elegance.
