About the Item
Early 20th century Art Déco wooden desk with parchment paper cover designed by Jean-Michel Frank for Comte S.A., Argentina
By: Comte S.A., Jean-Michel Frank
Material: wood, parchment paper
Technique: carved, enameled
Dimensions: 21.5 in x 51 in x 31.5 in
Date: early 20th century
Style: Art Déco, Mid-Century Modern
Place of origin: Argentina
Clad in parchment paper, this early 20th-century desk designed by Jean-Michel Frank and produced by Comte S.A. in Argentina reveals a mastery of proportion and restraint. The piece is defined by its rectilinear silhouette and the quiet tension between its solid volume and the softness of its material. The parchment, in an elegant pale ivory tone, displays subtle natural textures that catch light with a gentle matte sheen, enhancing the surface’s organic depth without distraction. Three flush drawers punctuate the front façade with minimal, geometric pulls, underscoring the design’s commitment to clarity and balance.
Frank’s collaboration with Comte S.A. resulted in a distinct aesthetic where simplicity becomes sophistication. This desk embodies that vision, eschewing ornamentation in favor of precise execution and refined materials. Its architecture is silent yet deliberate, presenting a harmonious dialogue between modernist rigor and artisanal tactility.
