Contemporary Desk

This desk by Michael Robbins blends practical utility with elegant details such as its slender base with turned legs and curved side profiles. Construction is broken into two partstop and base. The joinery for the top section is uncomplicated mortise and tenons. The two-part desktop is part solid wood and part plywood, which is covered with leather to make a blotter. The base, with its turned legs, is a straightforward frame secured by bridle joints.
