Beautiful, compact vintage desk from the "Made to Measure" series by Cees Braakman for Pastoe, produced in the 1950s. It can be combined with the matching SB02 chair from Braakman's birch series, also from the 1950s.
We collected this set in Voorhout from the original owner, who purchased the desk new in the late 1950s. We even have a photo of it in use back then—how cool is that?
Upon arrival at our workshop, both the desk and chair were fully restored. The teak top and drawer unit are in excellent condition again. The grain is beautifully revealed, and the wood has regained its warm, charming color. It interplays beautifully with the slender chrome legs and contrasts beautifully with the light birch of the chair.
The drawer unit features three smoothly running drawers, featuring Braakman's signature dust-free construction. The desk is sturdy, functional, and understated in design. Precisely that well-thought-out, simple, yet practical design that Dutch design is so beloved for. No frills, just straightforward design. Branded in one drawer.
The price does not include the chair. The chair is available for an additional €325.
