Floor Desk (for writing by hand)
Ebonized white oak, glass, velvet upholstered cushion / 2024Intended solely for writing longhand while seated on the floor. A place to exercise the form of attention that allows abstract thought to be made linear through the act of writing. A singular use piece of furniture and a sanctuary for the distracted brain.
