This bloch desk was designed by Joaquim Tenreiro (1906-1992), the “father” of Brazilian modernism, in 1965. The desk offers an interplay of rosewood tones and its elegance is complemented by its functionality, as it has three spacious drawers to store archives, documents, and essential supplies, facilitating productivity. This piece is an example of the reductiveness of forms, in this case, achieved by using rectangular shapes and straight lines. The simple design allows the wood veins to stand out, showing the natural beauty of the material itself. It fits perfectly in office spaces and blends seamlessly with various office interiors, from mid-century to contemporary, and complements a wide range of interior design styles.
