Sculptural Entremanos Secretary Desk by Andrés Nagel for Akaba, Spain 1988

One of a kind “Entremanos” Secretary Desk by Andrés Nagel for Akaba, 1988 – A Sculptural Postmodern Statement Piece. Designed in 1988 by renowned Basque artist and architect Andrés Nagel for Spanish furniture maker Akaba, the “Entremanos” desk is a rare and striking example of functional art, postmodern design and high-end craftsmanship. Its name — Entremanos ("between hands") — is brought to life through a anthropomorphic sculptural steel back panel featuring two stylized hands, which appear to cradle the built-in chrome reading halogen lamps. This artistic yet functional desk combines a sleek steel structure, natural wood drawers, and chrome lamp fittings, resulting in a bold visual statement. The central wooden unit houses four small drawers, perfect for storing stationery or essentials, while the spacious work surface includes a contrasting inlaid writing pad. Both a collector's piece and a practical workstation, Entremanos is ideal for creative interiors, art lovers, or anyone seeking a standout desk with true character and provenance. Condition: Very good vintage condition with light wear consistent with age (as seen in detailed photos).
