About this desk:

This was made in1994, as an antithesis to the " power desk" that dominated the American business arena at the time. These were desks that were designed in hopes of intimidating a potential business associate. I had recently returned from six months in Kyoto, where there was the pleasant custom of offering tea to guests, whether they were there for business or pleasure - I wanted to give dimension to that contrasting experience.
