Office director Jules Wabbes with drawer, Belgium-1950

Elegant Belgian modernist desk by Jules Wabbes, combining a large walnut veneer top with a minimalist chrome steel structure. The top features a beautiful grain with warm tones, highlighted by a particularly graphic thick edge. The tubular chrome structure, understated and architectural, adds great visual lightness despite the generous dimensions of the piece. The desk also includes a discreet central drawer integrated beneath the top, providing functional storage without disrupting the overall aesthetic balance. A very impressive presence for an executive desk, a high-end work table, or an architect/design space. Vintage condition is very satisfactory with slight signs of use consistent with age: * some superficial marks on the top, * slight oxidation/pitting localized on certain chrome parts, mainly on the lower crossbar, * the overall piece remains very clean and perfectly presentable. Dimensions: * Length: 198 cm. * Depth: 88.5 cm. * Height: 75 cm. A piece with a timeless design, ideal for a modernist, contemporary, or chic brutalist interior.
