Dewhurst I Walnut Desk

The brief here was for a walnut office desk but it was left wonderfully open-ended, so a great opportunity to create something truly technique. The top is a single large slab of English walnut, and so to keep this stable over time, the legs and cabinet are connected to reinforcing bearers attached with locking dovetails to the underside of the slab. A hidden but very important feature. The smooth-running drawers comprise textured American black walnut fronts and sycamore handles, providing useful storage space.

This piece is a fine example of custom made furniture and bespoke craftsmanship. It sits comfortably within the tradition of bespoke furniture while embracing organic furniture forms and technical precision.
