A Clean Desk, At Least For Starters

Full Text (103  words)

The ad6 desk from Atlas Industries, Thomas Wright and Joseph Fratesi's Brooklyn furniture company, would be fit for an architect's office. The floating slab of wood (white oak, walnut, cherry or maple) is supported by a minimalist frame of cold-rolled steel, and the workmanship on the drawers' dovetail joints and the pedestal box is impeccable. The 72-inch-long desk, which matches the company's as4 shelving system, can be ordered for $6,500 as shown in oak, above, and will be on display at the Atlas Industries showroom, scheduled to open in February, at 333 Douglass Street, Brooklyn, (718) 596-5045 (by appointment only).
