Description

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.
