Memorable Joe Backhouse 'Diplomat' Style Desk by Backhouse
The stunning design is inspired by Danish legend Finn Juhl and beautifully crafted in New Zealand by Backhouse for high-end stores and design-conscious customers. This piece has a unique history as it looks to have been commissioned for the Commonwealth Games in 1990 and made from Rimu.
This epic desk/table is a Diplomat in every sense of the word. Streamlined, masculine and as crisp as a freshly pressed suit. There will be no confusion about who the boss is when seated behind this local masterpiece.
Beautiful materials are teamed with a sharp, sophisticated design. We love the clean lines, subtle details and lightness of form that give this piece an enduring beauty.
Each piece is checked and carefully hand restored at our Kingsland studio workshop. Our focus is preserving the character and patina of the design while ensuring it displays beautifully in a contemporary interior.
