Solid walnut work desk by Attune Design
Dimensions: W 165 x D 78.7 x H 72.4 cm
Materials: Walnut.
This solid 3 piece walnut desk, takes notes from feminine energy and beauty: strength and curves at every angle. The sturdy, solid walnut desktop, supported by the graceful curves in the legs and cross bar, represents strength in femininity. We wanted to imagine a solid wooden desk that can be assembled and disassembled without tools, one that had individuality yet adaptable to its environment, and we wanted it to serve as an inspiration for creativity.
We are a group of designers passionate about helping businesses reach and resonate with their customers. Whether you’re looking for strategy, customer insights, product or service development, conceptual development, graphic, branding, or packaging design we’re here to help.
We specialize in delivering on the unknown; bringing resolution to the “what if’s” and the ”I don’t know’s.” Our human-centered approach has conditioned us to listen to the expressed needs of stakeholders, while identifying the unexpressed. To us, everything is about the user experience and we work tirelessly to make sure it is considered at every turn.
Driven by the desire to bring harmony, honesty, and beauty to the things and places we live with, Attune was founded by Nelson Jenkins, Zach Boomer and Mitch Barbon in 2020. The interdisciplinary design team with backgrounds in furniture, product and mechanical design have collaborated on projects ranging from environmental tech, interior design, modular and art-furniture.

Shop Antique, New and Vintage Dining Tables on 1stDibs
No matter your furniture style of choice, a shared meal is one of life’s true rewards. Why not treat your family and friends to a luxurious dining experience? Browse our top picks to find the perfect antique, new or vintage dining room table for this important occasion.
Modern furniture design borrows significantly from the trends of yore, and this is especially apparent in dining tables. Ancient Egyptians made practical use of the earliest four-legged tables of wood and rock — their models bear striking similarity to the dining tables of today — while common large medieval dining room tables in England were made of oak or elm. Romans and Greeks, renowned for big banquets that involved entertainment as well as good food, used early dining room tables made of marble or wood and metals such as bronze for meals.
On 1stDibs, find a range of dining room tables that offers no shortage of options to accommodate modest interiors, midsize family homes and even lavish banquets (entertainment not included).
Beginning in the mid-19th century, more American homes featured dining rooms, where families could gather specifically for a meal together. In the States, upper-class families were the first to enjoy dining room tables, which were the centerpiece of the dining room.
Dining room tables of the Victorian era were created in a range of revivalist styles inspired by neoclassical, Renaissance, Gothic and other traditions. Furnishings of the period were made of various woods, including oak, rosewood and mahogany, and referenced a variety of decorative arts and architectural motifs. Some dining room tables finished in the Rococo style feature gorgeous inlaid marble tabletops or other ornamental flourishes handcrafted by Parisian furniture makers of the 18th century.
In many modern spaces, there often isn’t a dining room separate from the kitchen — instead, they frequently share real estate in a single area. Mid-century modern dining room tables, specifically those created by designers such as Osvaldo Borsani, Edward Wormley and Alvar Aalto, are typically clean and uncomplicated designs for a dining area that’s adjacent to where the cooking is done. Furniture of this era hasn’t lost its allure for those who opt for a casual and contemporary aesthetic.
If you’re of the modern mindset that making and sharing meals should be one in the same — and perhaps large antique dining tables don’t mesh well with your style — consider a popular alternative. Working with a tighter space may mean that a round or oval dining room table, a design that references the festive meals of the medieval era, may be a better fit. Round dining room tables, particularly those that originated in the Art Deco period, still endure as a popular contemporary substitute for traditional rectangular dining tables. Giovanni Offredi’s Paracarro table for Saporiti Italia is a striking round table option that showcases the magnificent Italian industrial design of the 1970s.
