A cement writing desk with a wooden base that creates a pinboard area and a shelf within its bracketed form. The vertical face of the desk has a grid of 39 iron circles allowing the user to ‘pin’ items (postcards, notes, etc.) using magnets. The iron circles will oxidise and change colour — age — over time.
Part of the Huguet x Pentagram project which saw seven partners from Pentagram’s London and New York Studios join forces with Astrid Stavro and Huguet.
The desk is available to purchase. Enquiries here.
