NAVY DESKS. Travelers and seafarers of yore had to be resourceful in order to survive. Desks on board ships had to be cleared and stowed at a moments notice. Things had to be multi-functional. In the case of our desks, the two supports could act as steps into the navigator's bunk, or to mount a camel, whichever came first. The desktop, complete with drawers and brass bound, could act to stop musket bullets when under fire. Leather top, hand rubbed French finish, somewhat beat-up; proof of its many voyages and colorful history.

ARCHITECT'S BUREAU DESK. Coming in two heights, our unusual and attractive architect bureau desk is designed with many practical features, including extended side flaps, vertical folder slots for paper and notebooks storage, and subtle, yet highly functional drawers to store pens, pencils, rulers, etc... Adjustable desktop tilts to three angles. Most exciting, its adjustable work surface contributes to entirely new work experience. Architects were once skilled draftsmen and graceful calligraphers, able to draw a crisp and perfect line on virgin drafting stock. They worked at a classic architect's desks crafted of precious woods, with an adjustable work surface tilted to an individualized angle. Usually, they would stand, lounge, and lean on the tall desk, discarding the chair or replacing it with a tall, narrow stool. In our day and age, we have done away with the standing desk. We hammer away at keyboards for days on end, slumped in a desk chair. Actually, a recent scientific study showed that working at a standing desk all day equals the exercise provided by a robust morning workout.
