This elegant desk is part of the rare “Samara” series, designed by Derk Jan de Vries for Maisa Di Seveso in the 1970s. The collection is regarded as an important example of organic and functional design from that period.
The desk is entirely made of solid ash wood, where the wood grain plays a key role in its appearance. The rounded shapes soften the clean lines and give the whole a calm, almost sculptural balance. The front features two side drawers with round handle cutouts and an open central compartment, creating a functional and light composition.
This desk is accompanied by the original Samara chair from the same collection. The chair is made of the same ash wood and features a woven rattan seat, creating an airy contrast with the solid wooden construction. Together, they form a harmonious whole in which material, form, and function fit together perfectly.
The set is in good vintage condition and is a rare example of thoughtful European design from the 1970s.
