Journal Desk

Devon rippled ash, swiss pear wood, cedar of lebanon

H70 x W105 x D60 cm

I designed this desk for slow, analogue reflection: a space to sit, check in, and get on with the day without distraction. A place for writing, sketching, and freeing the rest of the day from overthinking.

The desk features an upstand to rest photographs and books, a groove for storing pens and pencils, a drawer for journals’ safekeeping, and hand-textured details throughout.

This piece is available. If you're interested, or would like something made for you, I'd love to hear from you.
