The iconic Office desk, designed in 1959, was the first of its kind with its pure, simplistic design, almost floating in mid-air. Bodil Kjærs' design has been called "The world's most beautiful desk" - or "James Bond's desk", because it featured prominently in three of the first Bond films. It features a simple, sturdy frame, to which is attached a generously sized top with four large drawers. The office, produced by Karakter, finds its place in both professional and home environments.
