Designed by Samuel Wilkinson, the Latis Desk is a poetic interpretation of the modern workspace. This piece is defined by its "cocooning" effect, utilizing a signature steam-bent frame that wraps around the user to create an intimate, sheltered environment. It perfectly balances the transparency of traditional materials with a high-functioning, contemporary form, making it an ideal choice for a home office, a quiet library nook, or even a sophisticated dressing table. The defining characteristic is the back screen made of Vienna Straw (woven cane). It provides privacy and a sense of enclosure while allowing light to filter through, creating beautiful shadow patterns. Utilizing Modonutti’s mastery of wood, a single continuous piece of ash wood sweeps upward from the front legs to form the top rail of the privacy screen. To maintain its clean aesthetic, the solid ash surface includes a discreet wooden plug for cable routing, ensuring your workspace remains clutter-free. Despite its architectural presence, the desk is engineered to be visually light and physically manageable, resting on slender, tapered dowel legs. The Latis Desk is primarily crafted from Solid Ash, selected for its prominent grain and flexibility during the steam-bending process. Popular finishes include: A light, clear finish that celebrates the organic beauty of the ash wood. A sophisticated, "ink" finish that emphasizes the desk’s silhouette and the texture of the cane. Available in Soil Walnut, Wengé, or Cherry stains upon request.
