About the Item
An impressive executive desk designed by Edward Axel Roffman in the 1970s, exemplifying his signature blend of bold materials and streamlined modernism. The desk is constructed in richly figured burlwood, its surface and drawer fronts displaying striking natural grain patterns, framed and elevated by polished chrome details that underscore its crisp geometry. The pairing of organic veneer with reflective metal creates a dramatic contrast, characteristic of Roffman’s glamorous late-20th-century aesthetic.
Generous in scale, the desk offers a commanding presence suitable for both professional and residential interiors. Two drawers provide practical storage while maintaining the clean lines of the design. This piece stands as a functional statement of luxury, perfectly embodying the sophisticated style that makes Roffman’s work so sought after by collectors of American modernist furniture.
We also have a matching credenza by Edward Axel Roffman available in a separate listing.
